Fender American Original ‘50s Telecaster MN Butterscotch Blonde w/Hardshell Case
Often imitated but never duplicated, the Telecaster is the original and Fender keeps this legacy rolling with the American Original ‘50s Telecaster, a nod to the first production models, featuring vintage-correct hardware, a thick “U” neck shape, and Pure Vintage ’52 pickups as well as an updated fingerboard radius and advanced switching for a modern playing experience.
About Fender American Original Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Picking up where the celebrated American Vintage Series left off, the Fender American Original Series features re-imagined, “best-of-the-decade” versions of some of the most legendary model years of the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Jazz and Precision basses, updated for modern playability.
