Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW 3-Colour Sunburst

The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW, finished in 3-Colour Sunburst, is part of the American Vintage II series. Much like its predecessor, the American Vintage series, the American Vintage II series revives some of the most revolutionary designs in the history of the electric guitar. Built with uncompromising detail and impeccable craftsmanship, this series features period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, as well as some incredible finishes, and painstakingly voiced year-specific pickups. Each instrument captures the spirit of its namesake, and is a testament to authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

The first Telecaster rolled off the production line in 1951 - this simple yet innovative design was ground-breaking for its time, and has remained one of the most popular solid-bodied electric guitars since its introduction. By 1963, the Telecaster had evolved, and now combined Alder's punch focus with a warm round-laminated fretboard, accentuating the Tele's signature twang.

This faithful tribute features a pair of Pure Vintage '63 Single-Coil Tele pickups, a period-accurate Alder body, an eminently comfortable period-accurate 1963 "C"-profile Maple neck, and Round-Laminated Rosewood fingerboard with 21 Vintage Tall frets - all of which expertly captures the tone, look, and feel of this the original '60s king of twang. Other period-accurate features abound, like a Pure Vintage 3-saddle Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, Pure Vintage single-line Fender Deluxe machine heads, and a 3-ply parchment pickguard. Fender have even included the narrower 12th-fret dot spacing on the clay dot inlays. A captivating 3-Colour Sunburst Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish completes the vintage aesthetic, while a vintage-style brown hard case with orange interior keeps your instrument protected in style.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we love the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW, in 3-Colour Sunburst, for its incredible revival of a vintage classic - if you love the look, feel and tone of vintage instruments (but don't love their price tag), this is definitely one to consider.
