The Fender American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom RW 3-Colour Sunburst, with its powerful neck humbucker and typical 1970s appointments, symbolises the era of burgeoning rock music. As an authentic replica of a ’77 Tele Custom, this electric guitar naturally features the correct specifications, including a triple-bolted ‘Micro-Tilt’ neck with a bullet truss rod and an alder body with a large pickguard. Whilst a Pure Vintage ’77 Telecaster single-coil pickup in the bridge position delivers crisp, twangy sounds true to tradition, the Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucker delivers rich clean and overdrive tones without compromising the typical Fender brilliance. Last but not least, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom RW 3-Colour Sunburst with the historically accurate 6-saddle Telecaster bridge and tuning-stable Pure Vintage “F” stamped tuners.

For the construction of the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster, Fender naturally relies on the tonewoods and manufacturing methods of the eponymous vintage. In addition to the alder body, which sits sturdily in the hand, the electric guitar features a three-bolt maple neck with the obligatory ‘Micro-Tilt’ mechanism for adjusting the neck angle. The ‘1977 C’ neck profile, which is not too thick, combined with a classic 7.25" radius (184 mm), also promises comfortable playability across the entire 21-fret maple fingerboard.

The American Vintage II ’77 Tele Custom electric guitar naturally utilises the historically authentic SH configuration, featuring a single-coil pickup at the bridge and a powerful humbucker in the neck position. The Fender Pure Vintage ’77 Telecaster single-coil pickup elicits classic Telecaster tones from the guitar amplifier, with explosive attack and just the right amount of bite, which cut through the mix perfectly even at overdrive settings. In the neck position, by contrast, the Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbucker, with historically accurate copper-nickel-iron magnets, rich tones that never lack that typical Fender transparency and are ideal not only for expressive clean tones, but also for singing lead work and punchy rhythm playing. To fine-tune the tonal character, the American Vintage II '77 Telecaster features a passive 3-way switch with dedicated volume and tone potentiometers for each pickup.

Naturally, Fender completes the American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom RW 3-Colour Sunburst electric guitar with historically accurate components that enhance the guitar’s traditional look whilst delivering uncompromising reliability. Whilst the Pure Vintage 6-Saddle Telecaster Bridge, with its string routing through the body, enhances the guitar’s lively tonal character, its six independently adjustable steel saddles guarantee precise intonation and action adjustment. On the headstock, Pure Vintage ‘F’ stamped tuners also keep the electric guitar stable and in the correct tuning.
