An Icon from the Late Seventies, Faithfully Recreated
The American Vintage II 1977 Telecaster Custom pays tribute to the early Tele Custom models, when Fender adopted the Wide Range humbucker to expand the tonal palette. Reproduced with meticulous precision (woods, neck profile, electronics, hardware), it sits at the top of the AVII range as the most versatile single-cut Telecaster and the one most faithful to the 1977 specifications.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists, this Tele excels in rock, indie, country, funk, and soul. The 3-position selector and two independent volume/tone controls allow quick shifts from biting cleans to full crunch, both on stage and in the studio.
The Sound
The CuNiFe Wide Range neck pickup delivers a broad, airy, and articulate range, with present mids without losing the typical Fender brightness. The Pure Vintage '77 single-coil bridge pickup provides the attack, snap, and twang needed to cut through the mix. In the middle position, the blend of both pickups offers full and balanced rhythms. The alder body adds solid mids and firm lows, while the 6-saddle split steel bridge optimizes intonation and sustain for a modern setup serving a decidedly vintage voice.
