Features We Love:

1951 Neck Shape

One of the biggest factors in our enjoyment of a guitar is the neck shape and Fender has kept things true to vintage specs with this era-specific neck carve. Known for its thicker feel the 1951 neck shape is loved by many players who like a bit chunk to their guitar neck. Although sizeable this neck shape isn't one to be shied away from as it offers a playing experience like no other!

Pure Vintage Pickups

Not just looking to capture the feel of a 50's Tele, Fender has gone with their Pure Vintage single coils wound specifically for that 1951 spec. This is the Tele tone! Built to be as close as possible in materials and winding these pickups deliver on that iconic twang and shimmer that has captivated players since the early 50s.

Vintage Spec, Modern Quality

Fender has recreated as much of that vintage vibe as they can with this model from the year-specific neck shape and pickups, to the 7.25" radius fingerboard, and the iconic looks of the '51 Telecaster. But it doesn't have any of the problems that can sometimes be associated with vintage guitars thanks to the always stellar Fender USA quality.
