Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Reissue in Butterscotch Blonde Electric Guitar, (Used, Comm)

The Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Reissue in Butterscotch Blonde is a faithful recreation of one of the most influential electric guitars ever produced, capturing the look, feel, and tone of the original 1952 Telecaster. It features a solid ash body finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer, which allows the wood to resonate naturally while gradually ageing in appearance over time. The classic Butterscotch Blonde finish paired with a single-ply black pickguard recreates the iconic “blackguard” aesthetic that defined early Telecasters and became a staple in rock, country, and blues.

The guitar uses a one-piece maple neck with a vintage “U” profile and a maple fingerboard with a traditional 7.25-inch radius, closely matching the feel of early-1950s Fender instruments. With a 25.5-inch scale length, 21 vintage-style frets, and a bone nut measuring about 1.65 inches wide, it delivers the snappy attack and comfortable playability associated with classic Telecaster designs. Vintage-style tuning machines and a four-bolt neck plate maintain the historically accurate construction used on the original models.

Electronics include two American Vintage ’52 single-coil Telecaster pickups, controlled by a three-way blade switch, master volume, and master tone. This setup provides the unmistakable Telecaster sound: bright, cutting bridge tones for rhythm and lead work, and a warm, rounded neck pickup suited for blues or jazz-leaning styles. The string-through-body bridge with three brass saddles enhances sustain and contributes to the instrument’s distinctive twang, making it a benchmark electric guitar for players seeking authentic vintage Fender tone and design.
