American Vintage '52 Telecaster

The 1952 Telecaster, the origin of the solid-body electric guitar, is still regarded as the ultimate form.

Its legacy is so monumental that the original is now far beyond reach as a playable instrument, becoming an art piece of historical value. Many players and collectors share the sentiment: "I want to experience the authentic world of a '52 Telecaster, but it's not realistic."

The answer came in the form of the American Vintage Series, launched in 1982. This series, where Fender directly confronted its own origins and re-examined specifications, construction, and sound, received overwhelming market support and became a symbol of Fender's revival. It continues to this day as a core philosophy carried forward by Fender.

Thoroughly analyzing the 1952 original, it faithfully recreates every detail of the era, down to the spaghetti logo, round string guides, black Bakelite single-ply pickguard, and slotted screws.

The sound produced by the ash body and maple neck is characterized by sharp, cutting highs, a three-dimensional attack, and a sustain with real core. The neck shows appropriate signs of use, which paradoxically enhances its vintage character, lending it the persuasive appeal of a piece that has truly lived, not just a simple reproduction.

With the original 1952 model now a distant dream, this American Vintage '52 Telecaster stands as an exceptionally well-crafted playable '52 Telecaster. It is undoubtedly a valuable original reissue model, essential not only for playing but also for understanding Fender's history.
