    Introducing the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection: Celebrating three-quarters of a century of foundational tone and revolutionary design. Each 75th Anniversary Telecaster model showcases the rich heritage and legendary tones that have made the Tele an unrivaled icon. From vintage purists to progressive players seeking cutting-edge features, rest assured there’s a model that will deliver. Immerse yourself in the legacy of the Telecaster and own a piece of Fender history with the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection.

     

     

    The Fender American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone.

     

     

    In 1951, caught between the end of the “Broadcaster” name and the dawn of the “Telecaster,” Fender shipped guitars with no model name on the headstock at all – and a legend was born. The Nocaster occupies a singular moment in electric guitar history; a brief, defiant window where innovation refused to be slowed by a cease-and-desist. Seventy-five years later, that spirit lives on in the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster – a meticulous tribute to one of the most storied instruments ever made.

     

     

    The Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster features an ash body finished in Nocaster Blonde and dressed in our exclusive Heirloom Lacquer treatment – an aged nitrocellulose finish carefully crafted to emulate the natural wear and patina of a vintage guitar that has spent decades in the hands of a player. The result is an instrument that doesn’t just look vintage, it feels vintage, right out of the case. The substantial ‘51 “U”-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25” radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. True to the vintage accurate Nocaster specifications, the 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole single Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge and single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners deliver authentic Fender style, while the 75th Anniversary Blackguard Telecaster pickups honor the guitar’s direct lineage to the original – delivering that raw, chimey, unmistakable blackguard twang that started it all.

     

     

    The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form – and none more historically charged than this. Fender American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster: 75 years of the guitar that had no name and changed everything.
