At NAMM 2025, Fender expands the American Vintage II Series with new colors and a stylish LTD 1951 Telecaster.

Fender American Vintage II

Fender is proud to introduce the American Vintage II Series, featuring bodies, necks and hardware that are exact replicas of the originals. Each instrument in the series captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and signature tone. New additions include finish options for existing models and the limited edition American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster®.

1951 Telecaster

The 1951 Telecaster features a Butterscotch Blonde-painted ash body, a rich ’51 U-shaped maple neck for authentic feel, a 7.25″ radius fretboard, and high vintage frets. The triple brass saddle bridge, Fender Deluxe tuners and Pure Vintage ’51 Telecaster pickups provide classic twang. The model is also available in Prototype White for an interesting color choice.

The Fender 1966 Jazzmaster is not to be forgotten, so this model also gets a chic Sherwood Green Metallic finish.

For bassists, the Fender 1960 Precision Bass is now available in classic Olympic White. For me, the perfect bass in that color.
