Vintage sound with sparkling clarity
The fifties is a decade that'll never be forgotten in the world of music. In fact, it'll be remembered across the planet. Because it saw the birth of the musical genre that changed everything: rock 'n' roll. And it's those early rock 'n' roll tones that have been injected into the Fender Vintera 50s Mod Telecaster. A pair of Custom Shop pickups delivers a huge range of powerful, cutting tones - perfect for making your playing stand out. The single-coil at the bridge is great for lead notes, bringing brilliant definition, while the "Twisted" neck pickup is ideal for crushing power chords.
Every note will sing with clarity, too. You can enjoy the Vintera Telecaster's gorgeous vintage tones without noise interference ruining your signal. That's because these Custom Shop pickups have been designed to eliminate unwanted feedback. So when you plug your Tele into an amp, you'll only be hearing whatever it is you're playing - and nothing else.
The perfectly designed neck profile
Let the music flow effortlessly from your fingertips. The Fender Vintera 50s Tele's maple neck has a "thick soft V" profile. This has been expertly developed by Fender to ensure that you've got the very best in playing comfort. Taking a classic "V"-shaped neck, Fender have partially rounded off the edges and given the neck a chunkier feel. It fits snugly in your hand, and will ensure your hand feels comfortable at all positions up and down the fretboard. You'll be able to play on and on all night without suffering cramp.
Your fullest, sharpest solos ever
This thing is a soloing machine. It breathes rock 'n' roll. Every note you strike will enjoy magnificent sustain, meaning you'll be able to let your lead lines ring for as long as you want. Thanks to a string-through-body bridge, more sonic vibrations are transferred to the body of the guitar, delivering a fuller, richer sound that will make your solos sound huge. And each note will be well-defined, too. A slick maple fingerboard brings an excellently sharp quality to whatever is played on it, making everything sound crisp and clear. Your lead playing has never sounded this good.
Hit the road
A guitar this good is made to be played live. And Fender have made transporting your instrument from gig to gig easy by including a Deluxe Gig Bag at no extra cost. You can safely slot your guitar away into the bag, and easily carry it around, knowing it's protected from bumps and scrapes. You'll have peace of mind as you travel.
