2024 Fender AVRI 1951 Telecaster – Butterscotch Blonde Blackguard
What’s to say? 2024 Fender 1951 Telecaster in an iconic nitro finish. Comes in a Fender TSA case with no papers, it is what it looks like, an American made AVRI II. Vintage wiring, 5 screw blackguard, serial on the bridge plate, flathead screws, blonde butterscotch finish. The camera isn’t capturing the color, it shows too much yellow.
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.
Just one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way.
The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial ’51 “U”-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25″ radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut. The triple brass saddle bridge, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickups deliver classic twang and authentic Fender style.
Weighs 7lb and 12oz, factory setup on 10s. Made late in 2024, serial reads as 2025 – fresh baked.
The condition north of 9/10.
