The original Telecaster Deluxe was Fender's dual-humbucker response throughout the 1970s in a bid to keep up with the growing demands of rock music. This Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe model really turns back the clock! Equipped with a pair of Fender’s vintage-style Wide Range humbuckers, this rendition channels the Telecaster Deluxe’s roaringly full-bodied voice with striking accuracy. But the retro vibes extend far beyond the pickups. The Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe boasts many of-the-era appointments that harness the original guitar’s energy, including a properly enormous pickguard, 6-saddle synchronized tremolo bridge, pure vintage Tele Deluxe tuning machines, and even a genuine ’70s “U” neck profile. All factors considered, vintage enthusiasts here at Sweetwater have found it to be a tall order to spot the differences between the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe and its namesake of yesteryear!
Would it really be a true Telecaster Deluxe without Fender’s iconic alder body and maple neck duo? The Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe comes structured with a medium-weight, well-balanced alder body in that timeless Telecaster single-cut shape. The maple neck is shaved to Fender’s ’70s “U” specifications, arming you with that deeper grip that Teles are so well-known for. A 21-fret matching maple fingerboard tops off your playing surface and promises bright and smooth playability, from delicate jazz chording to searing solos.
The original Telecaster Deluxe came armed with a pair of snarling, full-bodied, and versatile Wide Range humbuckers, so Fender treated the Vintera II to that exact same tone! With one of these pickups at the neck and bridge positions, the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe is set up to deliver all the vintage-inspired humbucking tone you can handle, from mellow subtleties to roaring overdriven riffing and chording. Complete with per-pickup tone and volume controls, you’ll find that shaping each Wide Range to taste is a convenient, precise endeavor.
There isn’t a single detail on the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe that doesn’t ooze classic character, and it all starts with this axe’s impressive hardware. At the bridge, a 6-saddle, vintage-style synchronized tremolo enables pitch dips and hard rock dives with extraordinary charm. The same charm is found in the nearby and giant period-correct pickguard, as well as its set of pure vintage Tele Deluxe tuning machines. From head to toe, the Vintera II ’70s Telecaster Deluxe is appointed for success in the modern musical world while sporting a stunning bygone swagger.
