How this develops depends on playing, handling and environmental conditions, meaning the guitar can gain additional individual character over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does a 7.25-inch radius feel compared with a modern Telecaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is noticeably more curved than the 9.5-inch radius found on models such as the Player II. This gives the guitar a more traditional Fender feel, particularly for chord work and rhythm playing. The vintage-tall frets provide additional height for bending and vibrato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Early '60s “C” neck feel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe profile is rounded and comparatively slim towards the nut before becoming fuller as you move up the neck. It is a good choice for players wanting recognisably vintage Fender character without an especially large neck profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy use steel saddles instead of brass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel saddles are closely associated with the brighter, more immediate character of many '60s-style Telecasters. Players looking for a period-inspired response may prefer this specification to the brass saddles commonly associated with earlier Telecaster designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the vintage-style truss rod harder to adjust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustment is positioned at the heel of the neck rather than the headstock. It is historically appropriate to this style of Fender but less immediately accessible than a modern headstock adjustment, so neck relief adjustments require a little more care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose this or the standard Vintera II '60s Telecaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the standard Vintera II if you want essentially the same vintage-style playing concept with a clean modern finish and Deluxe Gig Bag. Choose the \u003cstrong\u003eRoad Worn Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e if the aged nitro finish, broken-in feel and hardshell case are important parts of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56262555107708,"sku":"0148090366","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/1_7da00dae-420b-4062-adbd-c79fb1f3c29b.png?v=1770026218","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/fender-vintera-ii-road-worn-60s-tele-burgundy-mist-open-box","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
