The Faithful Return of Fender?s Golden Age in the Vintera II Line
Designed as an accurate reinterpretation of mid-1960s Telecasters, the Vintera II retains the feel, proportions, and details of the era while benefiting from modern production reliability. It sits at the heart of the Vintera II range: instruments with vintage looks, feel, and tone ready for stage and studio, without compromising stability or modern ergonomics.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for
intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a Tele with vintage character, it is also suitable for motivated beginners. Its articulation and bright attack excel in
rock,
country,
blues,
funk,
soul, and
indie. The early 60s ?C? profile offers an intuitive grip, while the ?Vintage Tall? frets facilitate bends and expressive vibrato.
Tone
The ?60s single-coils deliver the quintessential Tele spectrum: sparkling highs, present mids, and tight lows. The
alder body provides a punch/clarity balance, the
rosewood fingerboard softens the attack, and the
3-saddle steel bridge enhances bite and definition. The 3-position selector covers the snap of the bridge pickup, the scooped dynamics of the neck/bridge blend, and the singing roundness of the neck pickup. Simple and effective electronics: one volume, one tone, for immediate and musical response.
