Fender American Vintage 58 Telecaster Aged White Blonde

Allmänt

The Fender American Vintage '58 Telecaster is a proper reproduction of the legendary 1958 Tele. Fender did their utmost to accurately copy this electric guitar and it shows, as every single detail of the American Vintage '58 Telecaster is exactly the same as the original. Its thin nitrocellulose lacquer and 21-fret one-piece maple neck as well as the Top Hat pickup switch tip, single-layer white pickguard and chromed aluminium knobs - it's all there. The American Vintage '58 Telecaster even comes with a vintage-style brown case and replica case candy that consists of a brown leather guitar strap, an authentic grey guitar cable and all of the paperwork that you would've received with the 1958 model.

Fender American Vintage '58 Telecaster: authentic features

1958 was a pivotal year for the Telecaster, as it was from then on fitted with narrower-profile necks. Early on in 1958, the neck profile went from a thick U shape (which was rather a handful) to a more comfortable D shape. However, the shape of the neck isn't the only thing Fender equipped the American Vintage '58 Telecaster with. Of course, it features a lightweight ash body that, in this case, has an Aged White Finish as well as pickups that are made of the same materials and by the same specs and sound of the original ones. Other authentic features include the staggered magnets of the bridge pickup and solid-steel barrel bridge saddles for more clarity and bite.

American Vintage series: more accurate than ever before

Along with the American Standard series, Fender decided to give the 2012 American Vintage series a massive update. It has been expanded with new, iconic '50s and '60s models that have a minute vintage accuracy. To get to this point, the guitar giant tracked down and studied specs and details of numerous original vintage guitars. Fender even brushed off the tools of the period to make the result as authentic as possible. There's a good reason that these new models represent Fender's famed, 60-year long history in music.
