Product Description

The Fender Telecaster is one of the world's most distinctive guitars, known for its single-cut body shape and dual-dose of spanky-sounding single-coil pickups. The Fender Vintera '60s Tele Modified keeps many classic appointments intact, however it mixes its traditional touches with a number of contemporary features - to suit modern players that adore old-school looks, yet crave powerful tones and superb playability.

Fitted with high-output single-coil pickups, the Vintera '60s Telecaster Modified also boasts a modern neck profile and a relatively flat 9.5" fingerboard radius.

Timeless Fender Construction

Fender has relied on its favoured tonewood combinations for the Vintera '60s Tele Modified. Comprised of an Alder body, this balanced-sounding material ensures robust lows, lively mids and crisp highs; the perfect tonal foundation for the pokey-sounding pickups.

The Alder body is joined with a bolt-on Maple neck, bringing out even more top-end snap. Giving notes plenty of immediacy, this guitar offers a very responsive feel. The Pau Ferro fingerboard is another thoughtful design feature, adding some crucial lower mid-range warmth and providing a silky-smooth touch under the fingers.

The Vintera '60s Tele Modified's neck is shaped to Fender's popular modern "C" profile. Although this neck carve is slim and comfortable for contemporary players, it still offers enough girth to satisfy vintage aficionados. Another 21st Century feature includes medium jumbo frets, which allow for greater control over string bending and vibrato techniques.

Hot '60s Single-Coils

The most noteworthy appointments are the Vintera '60s Telecaster Modified's high-output, vintage-style '60s single-coils. Sweet and articulate with clean settings, as you'd expect from a Fender guitar, these hotter pickups are more than capable of pushing an amp into sweet-sounding overdrive too. 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 Hardware

While the pickups will appeal to modern musicians that want powerful sounds at their disposal, the Vintera '60s Tele Modified's hardware is far more traditional. Fitted with a classic 3-saddle string-through-body bridge, the barrel saddles are made from brass to ensure that characteristic Tele twang.

The vintage-style tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, while their bulletproof design ensures rock-solid performance and exceptional tuning stability. For keeping the Vintera '60s Tele Modified safe on the road, the included Fender Deluxe Gig Bag's rugged design will provide great protection.
