Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde Electric Guitar

Are you looking for a Telecaster® with authentic ’60s twang, classic Fender playability, and historically inspired details? The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde Electric Guitar brings back the character of a 1963 Telecaster® and is designed for guitarists who appreciate vintage tone, traditional craftsmanship, and direct response. Featuring an ash body, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, Pure Vintage ’63 single-coil Tele® pickups, and a classic 3-saddle bridge, this model delivers a rich, detailed Fender experience in the style of the early ’60s.

The Fender® American Vintage II series is based on historic designs that have made music history. It reproduces period-accurate details such as bodies, necks, hardware, premium finishes, and carefully matched pickups. The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde electric guitar thus embodies the authentic sound and character of a classic original Fender model.

In 1963, Fender experimented with new tonewoods and combined the distinctive, crisp sound with the warmth of a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. This brought out the typical Tele® twang particularly well. The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde electric guitar builds on this concept, combining traditional Telecaster® construction with the distinctive details of that model year.

Authentic 1963 Telecaster® Sound

The body of the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde electric guitar is made of ash and features a classic solid-body design in the Telecaster® shape. The finish is a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The Vintage Blonde color accentuates the traditional look and pairs perfectly with the 1-ply white pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware.

Two Pure Vintage ’63 single-coil Tele® pickups deliver the signature sound. These pickups are tuned to the tonal character of the 1963 model year and deliver the distinctive Telecaster® sound with twang, clarity, and direct response. The SS pickup configuration provides the classic foundation for country, blues, rock, indie, and many other genres.

Maple neck with 1963 “C” profile

The neck of the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde electric guitar is made of maple and features a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The 1963 “C” neck profile ensures a comfortable, classic playing feel and supports both rhythm and lead playing. The 4-bolt neck construction follows the traditional Fender design.

The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard has a 7.25" radius (184.1 mm) and is fitted with 21 vintage tall frets. The clay dot position markers and the clay-colored vintage clay side dots are among the characteristic details of this vintage model. The closely spaced clay dots at the 12th fret are also particularly typical of 1963.

Vintage Hardware and Classic Telecaster® Controls

The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Vintage Blonde electric guitar is equipped with a Pure Vintage 3-Saddle Tele® bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles. The bridge is mounted using the 4-screw vintage-style setup. A chrome bridge cover is included and rounds out the historic features.

Additional hardware includes Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe” tuning machines, a butterfly string tree, vintage-style strap buttons, knurled flat-top volume and tone knobs, and a black top-hat-style switch cap. The headstock features a 4-bolt serialized design. The guitar is strung with Fender® USA 250R nickel-plated steel strings in gauges .010–.046.

The electronics feature a classic, straightforward layout. Master Volume and Master Tone controls shape the sound, while the 3-position blade switch offers three pickup combinations. Position 1 activates the bridge pickup, Position 2 combines the bridge and neck pickups, and Position 3 selects the neck pickup.
