Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster Left-handed Electric Guitar – Butterscotch Blonde

Series & Model: The American Vintage II Series is Fender’s dedicated platform for recreating landmark instruments with historically informed specifications and vintage-accurate details. The 1951 Telecaster represents one of the most important instruments in Fender history, capturing the earliest Telecaster-era design with an ash body, substantial “U”-shaped maple neck, Pure Vintage ’51 pickups, and three-saddle brass-barrel bridge. This left-handed Butterscotch Blonde configuration brings that foundational Telecaster design to southpaw players who want authentic vintage feel, response, and appearance without compromising the historically correct details that define the American Vintage II family.

Style: Butterscotch Blonde is quintessential early-Telecaster, with the translucent finish showcasing the character of the ash body underneath. The black dot inlays, black pickup cover, traditional Tele control plate, chrome/nickel hardware, and vintage-style bridge create an exceptionally faithful early-’50s aesthetic. The left-handed configuration makes this classic presentation available in a purpose-built southpaw format.

Build Notes: The ash body is paired with a one-piece maple neck featuring the substantial 1951 “U” profile, 7.25″ radius maple fingerboard, and 21 vintage-tall frets. Pure Vintage ’51 Tele pickups provide the characteristic early Telecaster attack, while the three-saddle bridge uses brass barrel saddles for period-appropriate response. The vintage-style butt-adjust truss rod and single-line Fender Deluxe tuners complete the historically focused construction.

Availability: This instrument is brand new, factory fresh, and ready for immediate playability.

Features & Included Items: Features include two Pure Vintage ’51 Tele single-coil pickups, three-position switching, 7.25″ radius maple fingerboard, 21 vintage-tall frets, U-shaped maple neck, three-saddle brass-barrel bridge, vintage Fender Deluxe tuners, left-handed orientation, and a Vintage-Style Tweed Case with crushed-red interior.

The Sound: This early-style Telecaster produces a wonderfully direct and dynamic sound, with crisp bridge attack, bright treble, woody midrange, and warm neck tones. The three-saddle bridge contributes to the lively response and resonance associated with vintage Telecasters. It is an inspiring platform for country, blues, roots, rock, Americana, and virtually any style where touch-sensitive Fender twang is essential.
