Carved perfectly to a thick “U” profile, this maple neck provides a playability and a grip that’s spot on to the original model, making for an even more magical musical experience. A complementing 7.25-inch radiused maple fingerboard ordered with 21 vintage tall frets allows players to scale the Vintera II ’50s Nocaster with wide-range fluency and of-the-era authenticity. From dialed-in rhythm sections to soaring spotlight solos, this 6-string supplies the platform to prosper.

Genuine ’50s Tele tone





This impressive electric tells the tale of the original Nocaster with an incredibly genuine tone, too, and that’s no coincidence. Fender gave the Vintera II ’50s Nocaster a pair of Vintage-Style ’50s Single Coil Tele pickups to nail the vintage sonic details? and do they ever! The Tele is revered for its bright and chimey voice that’s backed by indisputable punch, and that’s precisely what you’ll get out of every note. Wailing blues solo? No problem. Punchy surf leads? Done! Additionally, its classic 3-way selector lets you pour on the brilliance at the bridge, cloak your sound in buttery-smooth richness at the neck, or combine the two for the best of both worlds.





Hands-down quality hardware





Rounding out the authentic feel and legendary tone of the Vintera II ’50s Nocaster is an adornment of high-quality hardware. Handsomely finished in nickel/chrome, this guitar offers a 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge boasting brass saddles that just ooze with aged response. Vintage-style tuning machines and a synthetic bone nut keep proper intonation at the forefront, creating a classic feel with a finer gear ratio for spot-on adjustments and buzz-less string dependability. Steadfast onstage and in the recording studio, these appointments are ideal for virtually any intermediate and professional application.
