The Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster is an exceptional recreation of the instrument that defined electric guitar history. Built with meticulous attention to period-correct detail, this Dealer Exclusive model captures the raw tone, feel, and charm of the first-generation “Blackguard” Telecaster that changed the course of music forever.

Constructed with a solid ash body finished in rich nitrocellulose lacquer, the ’51 Tele delivers the crisp attack, midrange punch, and unmistakable twang that made it legendary. Its 3A flame maple neck with an oval “C” profile feels immediately familiar and fast, while the 9.5” radius fingerboard adds a modern touch of comfort. The Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil pickups deliver that unmistakable Fender bite — bold, articulate, and brimming with vintage character.

Outfitted with period-accurate hardware, including a Pure Vintage 3-saddle Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, single-line Fender Deluxe tuners, and a serialized bridge plate, this instrument is as authentic as it gets. Complete with a tweed hardshell case and certificate of authenticity, the Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster is a faithful tribute to the guitar that started it all, and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
