From vintage purists to progressive players seeking cutting-edge features, rest assured there's a model that will deliver. Immerse yourself in the legacy of the Telecaster and own a piece of Fender history with the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1951, caught between the end of the \"Broadcaster\" name and the dawn of the \"Telecaster,\" Fender shipped guitars with no model name on the headstock at all — and a legend was born. Informed by a telegram from Gretsch that the “Broadkaster” name had been registered for a drum kit, Fender began clipping the “Broadcaster” name from headstock decals until the new Telecaster decals were delivered. Seventy-five years later, the legend lives on in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster — a meticulous tribute to one of the most storied instruments ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde and dressed in our exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment — an aged nitrocellulose finish carefully crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in the hands of a player. The result is an instrument that doesn't just look vintage, it feels vintage, right out of the case. The substantial '51 \"U\"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25\" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. True to the vintage accurate Nocaster specifications, the 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole single Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge and single-line \"Fender Deluxe\" tuners deliver authentic Fender style, while the 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® pickups honor the guitar's direct lineage to the original — delivering that raw, chimey, unmistakable blackguard twang that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form — and none more historically charged than this. Fender American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster: 75 years of the guitar that had no name and changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003eHeirloom™ Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003cbr\u003eAsh Body\u003cbr\u003e7.25\" Radius Maple Fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eThick \"U\"-Shape Neck\u003cbr\u003e75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster® Pickups\u003cbr\u003eVintage-Style Hardware\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680292020466,"sku":"BM197955197180","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/0171951868_fen_ins_frt_1_rr.png?v=1781658517","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/fender-75th-anniversary-american-vintage-ii-1951-nocaster-maple-fingerboard-blonde","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
