Initially introduced in 1972 and billed as the top model in the Telecaster® family, The Telecaster Deluxe holds the distinction of being Fender’s first solid-body Telecaster with two humbucking pickups. Like the original, the American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe sports a large Stratocaster® headstock, comfort-contoured belly cut, and pair of Wide Range humbucking pickups mounted to an elongated pickguard with dual volume and tone controls and a 3-way toggle located on the upper bout. To create authentic Wide-Range humbucking pickups, we resurrected CuNiFe magnets, which had been out of production since 1981, an essential element in recreating the sonics of the original. The Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe features C Shape neck, 7.25" radius maple fingerboard and cunife widerange humbucking pickups.
Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom
The 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 Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom features a cunife wide range humbucking pickup in the neck and a pure vintage '77 single coil tele pickup in the bridge, C shape neck and 7.25" radius maple fingerboard.
