The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW Crimson Red Transparent at a glance.
The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW Crimson Red Transparent represents the revised design of the classic Telecaster as it was introduced back in 1963. New tonewood combinations and improved construction methods created a new, distinct Tele sound that achieved absolute cult status on numerous recordings of blues, rock and country. Built to historic specifications, this instrument from the American Vintage II collection is built at the Fender Corona Facility in California and of course comes complete withcase and certificate.
Mahogany Tele body
The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW represents the extremely rare Mahogany Tele as it was built in the years 1963 to 1965 and presents matching a body made of mahogany with a historically correct Crimson Red Transparent Nitrocellulose finish. Also newly introduced at that time was the rosewood fingerboard in Round Laminated construction, which on the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster with original Clay Dot fingerboard inlays and classic 7.25" radius provides an authentic feel of the sixties.
Pure Vintage '63 Single Coils
The two Pure Vintage '63 Single Coils of the Fender American Vintage II Telecaster are also based on original components of the original and produce the classic changeable voice of the Sixties Tele. Thus, played in the bridge position, the result is a wiry sound with a certain amount of twang and growl, while the neck position contributes its vocal character. For pickup selection, there is a three-position switch that selects both pickups either individually or together.
3-Saddle Tele Bridge with steel tailpieces.
The hardware equipment also received some welcome upgrades in the early sixties. With the Fender Pure Vintage Tele Bridge, the three classic brass tailpieces were replaced with robust and resonant steel tailpieces, both improving resonance transmission and allowing each string to be better positioned on its rider. On the headstock, "Fender Deluxe" tuners provide robust tunings and the classic Tele look.
