Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Telecaster® Custom marked one of Fender's earliest forays into the use of humbucking pickups. The Tele® Custom featured a 3-way toggle located on the upper bout and dual volume and tone controls mounted to a stylish, elongated pickguard. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Tele features a Wide Range humbucking pickup in the neck position and a Pure Vintage '77 single-coil Tele® pickup in the bridge position. To create an authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickup, we resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, and are an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom plays like a dream with a '77 \"C\"-shape hard rock maple neck with a 7.25\" radius maple or rosewood fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Other features include a Tele bridge with 6 slotted steel barrel saddles, \"F\" stamped tuners, a convenient \"Bullet\" style truss rod nut and a three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Telecaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Gloss Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 1977 \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 3-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Vintage Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (64.77 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Bullet Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Bullet Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 6-Saddle Tele® with Slotted Steel Barrel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Cover\/Tailpiece: Includes Chrome Bridge Cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: 4-Screw Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply Black\/White\/Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Neck: Chrome; Bridge: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Skirted Black Plastic with Numbered Indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Fender® \"F\" Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Dual-Wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 3-Bolt \"F\" Stamped with Micro-Tilt™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Pure Vintage '77 Single-Coil Tele®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: HS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume 1.
