Fender Vintera '60s Modified Telecaster Lake Placid Blue 2020 Electric Guitar

This is a Fender Vintera ‘60’s Modified Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue. Made in Mexico in 2020, this guitar features an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret Pau Ferro fingerboard. Other appointments include 3-Saddle Vintage-Style Bridge with Brass Barrel Saddles and Vintage-Style tuning machines. A pair of Vintage-Style ‘60s Hot Single-Coils are fitted and wired to 4-way pickup selector, master volume with S-1 switch and master tone.

The Maple neck plays very well, with the ‘60s “C” profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and promotes ergonomic hand positioning, feeling chunky and smooth whilst providing an articulate playing experience. The 9.5” radius delivers a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending, further enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets. The smooth lines of the Tele body along with generous body contours are as comfortable and familiar as ever, ensuring that long gigs and practice sessions are a breeze.

The pair of Vintage-Style ‘60s Hot Single Coils sound have an increased output than most other tele pickups providing you with plenty of clarity and warmth in the neck and the classic Telecaster ‘Twang’ in the bridge. A detailed low end is complemented well by a smooth midrange, whilst the high frequencies are bright and shimmering. The S-1 switch provides more tonal complexities by providing out of phase single coil sounds. The pickups cut through nicely, putting your playing front and centre in even the densest of mixes.
