Your Ticket to Classic '60s Telecaster Twang
If you've ever wondered what it sounded like when Bob Dylan went electric or when George Harrison laid down those crisp rhythm parts, this is your answer. The Fender Vintera II '60s Telecaster captures that era with impressive accuracy—from the familiar snap of its vintage-style single-coils to the comfortable early-'60s C-shaped neck that feels instantly familiar in your hands. It's a period-correct Telecaster design made accessible for today's players, whether you're playing country, rock, blues, or anything in between.
This Sonic Blue finish is vintage Fender through and through. The guitar features an alder body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard for classic Fender tone that's full of punch and clarity. The 7.25" radius fingerboard with vintage-tall frets provides vintage comfort with ample room for big bends and expressive vibrato. Everything about this guitar is designed to put you right in that golden era of electric guitar design, but with the reliability and playability of a modern instrument.
This is a great fit for players who want authentic vintage vibe without hunting for a collector-grade original. Whether you're a working musician who needs classic Tele sounds on stage, a recording guitarist chasing that vintage clarity, or someone who just loves the look and feel of a '60s Fender, the Vintera II series delivers.
Authentic '60s Pickups with Modern Refinement
Under the hood, you'll find a pair of vintage-style '60s pickups that deliver all the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender famous. These aren't just generic single-coils—Vintera II instruments feature revoiced pickups specially designed to remain true to the era's tonal character while improving the overall sound and performance. That means you get the bright, articulate snap of a classic Tele bridge pickup and the warm, round neck tone, but with better balance and clarity than many vintage originals.
The 3-position blade switch gives you the three classic Telecaster voices: bridge pickup for that signature cutting twang, neck pickup for warmer jazz and blues tones, and both pickups together for a fuller, slightly scooped sound that works beautifully for rhythm playing. These are passive pickups, so the response is dynamic and touch-sensitive—dig in hard and they bark, back off your pick attack and they clean up beautifully.
Period-Correct Neck Profile and Hardware
Based on an early-'60s "C" profile, this comfortably rounded "C" is slim at the nut and gradually thickens toward the 12th fret for an intuitive and inviting feel. The 25.5" scale length and 1.650" nut width are pure Telecaster spec. The slab rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato. It's a smart compromise—you get the vintage aesthetic and feel, but with just enough modern practicality to make bending and fretting comfortable.
This Vintera II Telecaster features a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three slotted steel "barrel" saddles for authentic '60s Tele twang. Vintage-style tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability. The hardware is finished in nickel/chrome, and you'll find period-correct details like a 3-ply mint green pickguard, knurled flat-top control knobs, and white dot inlays.
Solid Build Quality from Fender's Mexico Facility
Made in Mexico (MX), the Vintera II series represents some of the best value in Fender's current lineup. The build quality is excellent—the body finish is gloss polyester, and the neck finish is gloss urethane. The neck is attached with Fender's 4-bolt standard construction, and it features a vintage-style butt-adjust truss rod with a synthetic bone nut. Every detail has been considered to balance vintage authenticity with modern manufacturing consistency.
The guitar ships with a deluxe gig bag, ready to travel to rehearsals, gigs, or recording sessions. At around 8 pounds, it's comfortable for long sets and recording sessions without feeling too light or insubstantial.
