Product Description

Fender’s Vintera range embodies everything that put the iconic guitar company on the map. Channelling the mojo of their finest ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s instruments, the Vintera models also boast a surprisingly affordable price point. The ‘50s Telecaster Modified combines first-run Tele specs with Custom Shop pickups for colourful twang and head-turning looks in equal measure.

Body & Neck

This Tele has an Alder body, a Fender mainstay since the mid-50s. A Gloss Polyester finish gives the body a wonderful sheen that oozes vintage class.  

The Maple neck has been given the vintage U-shape treatment. A real baseball bat to wrap your hands around, it also really brings out the Tele twang in spectacular fashion.

Electronics & Hardware

While the finish and classic tonewood combo define the ‘50s Tele, the magic is in the word ‘modified’. This model comes loaded with two Custom Shop pickups; Vintage-Style Single-Coil in the bridge and a "Twisted" Single-Coil in the neck, respectively. You’ll seldom find pickups of this calibre in a guitar at this price point – sizzling tones galore.

A 4-way blade S-1 switch configuration unlocks a whole new palette. You've got out of phase options, as well as both pickups in either series or parallel for hotter output. Vintage-style tuners and the classic 3-saddle American Chrome Barrel saddles complete the picture. This is the definition of classic Tele with a turbocharged sound to boot.

I fell in love with that guitar at first sight and touch! Neck profile is very comfortable in my hand, despite my short fingers. It sounds nice in all four pickups positions.The guitar is not heavy at all and looks beautiful in surf green color and maple neck combination!

Beautiful looking instrument that sounds fantastic. Setup straight out of the box was surprisingly good. As others have pointed out (on other sites) these are essentially a rebranded (more expensive) baja tele. If you wanted to save some cash you could just pick up a baja on the secondary market. Very happy with mine as is though!
