American Vintage '64 Telecaster Left-Handed Electric Guitar

1964 was a monumental year for popular music and a pivotal year for the Telecaster, too, as seen in the Fender American Vintage '64 Telecaster Left-Handed Electric Guitar. The thicker maple necks of the ™50s and early ™60s now gave way to a more rounded C-shaped profile, this time topped with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with larger pearl dot inlays. Other vintage-accurate touches include a lightweight alder body (ash on White Blonde model), staggered bridge pickup pole magnets, threaded steel œbarrel bridge saddles, three-ply white pickguard with eight holes, top-hat switch tip, flat-top knurled chrome control knobs and more.

The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender' best selling guitars (their early-™80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was œback as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, they™ve completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept”restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more”based on actual vintage guitars. Includes case.
