For players who love the charm of the past combined with modern features, the Vintera® ‘50s Telecaster® Modified is the perfect choice. It combines classic looks with a modern neck profile and fingerboard radius, hotter pickups, and updated electronics, delivering surprising power. It comes with a pair of Custom Shop pickups. The vintage-style bridge pickup and the fat-sounding Twisted Tele neck pickup offer a twangy and articulate sound, the kind that made Fender famous. The 21 medium-jumbo frets on the 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard on the “Thick Soft V”-shaped neck provide a modern playing feel. A vintage-style Tele® bridge with three brass saddles gives it that characteristic twang. The 4-way switching and the S-1™ switch offer more tonal variety. Series wiring makes it sound fat like a humbucking pickup, and the S-1 switch creates a cool “strangled” tone. Other features include vintage-style strap buttons, chrome hardware, and a 4-bolt neck plate. A deluxe gig bag is included.

Using this Fender guitar is a breeze. Just plug it into an amplifier and start playing. The 4-way switching and S-1™ switch let you easily change tones. For the best sound, experiment with different pickup combinations. When not in use, keep it in the included deluxe gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Check the tuning regularly and adjust the tuning machines as needed. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the wood and hardware. If you need to clean the body, use a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, you can use a mild guitar cleaner. When changing strings, make sure to use the recommended Fender® USA 250L Nickel-Plated Steel strings (.009-.042 Gauges). This will ensure the best performance and sound quality.
