Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster - 3-Color Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster – A Vintage-Inspired Icon with Authentic 60s Style and Tone

Classic 1963 Telecaster tone with vintage-correct pickups

The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster brings the spirit of early '60s rock and roll, blues, and country straight into your hands. Outfitted with a pair of Pure Vintage '63 single-coil Telecaster pickups, this model delivers the articulate twang and warmth that defined a generation of guitar tones. These pickups are specially voiced to authentically replicate the dynamic response and midrange character of original 1963 models, giving you a faithful sonic snapshot of Fender history.

Premium construction and vintage-spec materials

This Telecaster features a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish over a classic alder body, allowing the guitar to resonate naturally and age gracefully over time. The maple neck is shaped to a comfortable 1963 "C" profile, while the round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius evokes the playing feel of vintage instruments. Clay dot inlays, vintage tall frets, and narrow spacing at the 12th fret add to the period-correct aesthetic and experience.

Vintage-style hardware and bridge design

The Pure Vintage 3-saddle Telecaster bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles faithfully captures the tone and response of the original model. Coupled with the Pure Vintage single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuning machines and nickel/chrome hardware, this setup delivers stable tuning and a distinctive old-school vibe. The knurled flat-top control knobs complete the retro look while giving players precise control over the master volume and tone circuits.

Vintage-style case and collectible vibe

Finished in 3-Color Sunburst and paired with a vintage-style brown hard shell case with orange interior, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster isn't just a faithful reissue — it's a playable piece of Fender history.
