About Fender American Orig '70s Tele

You'll be transported back to the dawn of the seventies with the American Original '70s Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar. This stylish, vintage-inspired instrument is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality and innovation. The guitar features the first authentic CuNiFe magnet powered Wide Range neck pickup in over 40 years, a design originally crafted by the legendary Seth Lover. This unique pickup, combined with a calibrated Tim-Shaw-designed '70s Telecaster single-coil bridge pickup, delivers a distinctively Fender-flavored sound that's both brilliant and high-output.

Controls for this high-quality electric guitar include individual volume and tone for each pickup, along with an upper-bout 3-way toggle switch for versatile sound customization. The guitar's design stays true to its roots with original-era body radii and vintage-style hardware, including F logo tuners and bullet truss rod adjust. The lacquer finish, made from nitrocellulose, allows the wood to breathe naturally, enhancing the guitar's resonant tone while aging and wearing in a uniquely personal way.

The American Original '70s Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar also features a 9.5"-radius fingerboard, slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25" radius, for a comfortable fret-hand feel. The vintage-tall frets make bending notes easier without fretting out, and the "Medium C" neck profile offers a period-correct playing feel that's comfortable for all players. This durable and reliable instrument comes with a vintage-style hardshell case for protection and easy transport. Experience the clear, bell-like humbucking tones of this authentic Fender creation, a true homage to the historic originals.
