VINTAGE U.S. TELECASTER For the guitarist who craves pure vintage Fender style, the American Vintage series presents original-era model year guitars built with meticulous attention to accurate detail that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. 1964 was a big year for popular music and for the Telecaster, which saw notable design changes that year. It had by then become an indispensable guitar for stage and studio alike, a requisite tool for working guitarists at all levels. Built using original tooling and based on actual 1964 models we tracked down, the U.S.-made American Vintage ’64 Telecaster expertly evokes that year’s model with authentic sound, style and feel. FEATURES Alder body (ash on White Blonde model) Comfortable mid-60s “C”-shaped neck profile Round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with larger pearl dot inlays Specially voiced pickups, including staggered bridge-pickup pole magnets Three-ply white pickguard with eight holes Strat style switch tip and flat-top knurled chrome controls String-through-body bridge with three threaded steel “barrel” saddles FLASH-COAT LACQUER FINISH The term flash-coat lacquer refers specifically to the quickly applied thin and final "flash" of topcoat lacquer applied to most American Vintage instruments. The composition and method of application for this finish layer lets an instrument "breathe" with a more natural resonance, and imparts a more authentically vintage appearance. NEWLY VOICED AMERICAN VINTAGE PICKUPS American Vintage instruments feature specially voiced pickups meticulously researched and crafted to reproduce the authentic design, voice and performance of specific instruments from individual model years in the 1950, ’60s and ’70s. Their superior sound and style is one of the defining hallmarks of the American Vintage series. PERIOD CORRECT NECK PROFILES This instrument’s "C" neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) is sculpted to the most accurate period-correct spec possible, imparting an authentic vintage playing feel straight from the individual model year. Ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck. BONE NUT A string nut fashioned from bone contributes to superior tone and performance, not to mention being an authentic original-era Fender design element. Many players consider bone string nuts more "organic" sounding, with tonal quality unmatched by string nuts made using synthetic materials. "ROUND-LAM" ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD Fender introduced "round-lam" (short for round-laminated) rosewood fingerboards in the early 1960s as a new method of attaching smooth-playing and attractive rosewood fingerboards—in a thin, rounded veneer-like form—to sturdy maple necks. In look, sound and feel, it’s a classic Fender design element still widely used today on many contemporary and vintage-style instruments. PERIOD-CORRECT CASES AND EPHEMERA American Vintage instruments are complemented by cases that are every bit as vintage-authentic as the guitars and basses they so stylishly contain, accompanied by a fascinating wealth of in-case reproduction extras and accessories, such as straps, cables, polishing cloths, wiring kits, bridge covers, owner’s manuals and more.   SPECS BODY Body Material Ash Body Finish Fender Flash Coat Lacquer Body Shape Telecaster® NECK Neck Material Maple Neck Finish Fender Flash Coat Lacquer Neck Shape Mid '60s "C" Scale Length 25.5" (648 mm) Fingerboard Material Round-Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard Radius 7.25" (184.1 mm) Number of Frets 21 Fret Size Vintage-Style Nut Material Bone Nut Width 1.650" (42 mm) Position Inlays Pearloid Dot Truss Rod Vintage-Style Butt Adjust ELECTRONICS Bridge Pickup American Vintage '64 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil Tele Neck Pickup American Vintage '64 Gray-Bottom Single-Coil Tele Controls Master Volume, Master Tone Switching 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
