Available from Gear4Music at £2,399.00 ($3,047).

The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster Flame Maple Fingerboard Black is a faithful nod to the first blackguard era built with period-correct feel and modern playability in mind. An ash body in gloss nitro lets the wood breathe and age with character while a 1-ply black phenolic guard nails the look. The standout here is the 3A flame maple neck and fingerboard: an Oval "C" carve with a satin back for that broken-in feel plus a 9.5" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and tidy intonation. Vintage-style details run throughout from the single line tuners and disc string tree to the four-bolt plate and included bridge cover Bringing that unmistakeable Tele sound a pair of Custom Shop Texas Special single-coils offering hot-rodded blackguard energy with rich mids bite and plenty of chime. The 3-way switch covers bright bridge snap airy neck warmth and that classic middle blend responding beautifully to volume and tone tweaks. A Pure Vintage 3-saddle bridge with brass barrels delivers the right mix of attack and sustain while through-body stringing keeps everything ringing true. Its a lively resonant Tele that feels inspiring in the hands and sounds ready for any session or stage
