Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW, Vintage Blonde Overview
The Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster RW in Vintage Blonde is a USA-built reissue that nails the look, feel and tone of a golden-era Tele. Built with an ash body and finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, it offers the lively resonance and dynamic response that define early-'60s Fender instruments. The Vintage Blonde finish shows off the grain beneath, paired with a simple white pickguard for that unmistakable stripped-back Tele style that still looks right at home on any stage.
A set of Pure Vintage '63 Telecaster single-coil pickups delivers everything you'd expect from a great Tele: cutting bridge bite, smooth neck warmth and that signature snap in the middle position. The 1963 "C" maple neck and 7.25" radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable, authentic playing feel, while vintage-tall frets make bends easier without losing that classic curvature. With a traditional 3-saddle bridge, threaded steel saddles and vintage-style tuners, this model captures true early-'60s character.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic early-'60s Tele build
This model captures a key transitional moment in Telecaster design. The ash body delivers strong attack and clarity, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to resonate more freely and age naturally over time. Finished in Vintage Blonde, it shows off the grain beneath and keeps the look understated yet iconic. It's a proper vintage-style construction that feels alive in your hands and responds dynamically to your playing - it's everything you'd expect from a proper Tele!
Authentic Tele twang and bite
The Pure Vintage '63 pickups are voiced to deliver the unmistakable Telecaster sound. The bridge pickup has that sharp, cutting edge that's perfect for country, indie and classic rock rhythms, while the neck pickup adds warmth and roundness for smoother melodic lines. In the middle position, you get that balanced, percussive snap that sits perfectly in a mix, making it a versatile setup for a wide range of playing styles and musical genres.
Comfortable vintage neck feel
The 1963 "C" neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering an easy grip for both chord work and lead playing. The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard softens the attack slightly compared to maple, adding warmth and depth to the overall tone. With a 7.25" radius and vintage-tall frets, you get a traditional playing feel with just enough modern playability to keep bends smooth and controlled.
Traditional hardware and response
The Pure Vintage 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles is a big part of the Telecaster's signature sound and feel. It adds snap, sustain and that slightly raw edge players love. Paired with vintage-style single-line Fender Deluxe tuners and classic fittings throughout, the hardware keeps everything stable while staying true to the original design. It's a no-nonsense setup that delivers exactly what a Tele should.
