A mid-'70s Telecaster Deluxe with authentic CuNiFe humbucker power.
The Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe electric guitar captures one of the boldest Telecaster designs of the 1970s. Its alder body wears a gloss polyurethane finish and features the comfort-contoured belly cut that helped set the Deluxe apart from earlier Telecaster models. Dual Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickups deliver the fuller, more powerful voice behind Fender’s top Telecaster model of the era. As part of the American Vintage II series, this Telecaster Deluxe brings period-accurate design, vintage-style hardware and classic Fender craftsmanship together in a premium build made for players who want authentic mid-'70s tone and feel.
Alder Body With Telecaster Deluxe Style
The 1975 Telecaster Deluxe carries a distinctly different identity from a traditional single-coil Telecaster. Its solid alder body, elongated pickguard and large Stratocaster-style headstock give it the bold visual language associated with mid-'70s Fender design. The comfort-contoured belly cut adds a more body-hugging feel than a slab-style Telecaster, making the Deluxe feel closer to Fender’s other contoured solidbodies while still retaining its own unmistakable Tele outline.
Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range Humbuckers
Dual Authentic CuNiFe Wide-Range humbucking pickups are the core of the Telecaster Deluxe sound. The bridge pickup delivers stronger output, firm attack and the fuller response players expect from a Fender humbucker, while the neck pickup adds a broad, warm voice for chords, leads and clean rhythm work. Together, the HH configuration gives this Deluxe the bigger sound that separated it from classic Telecaster single-coil models while preserving the clarity that makes Wide-Range humbuckers so distinctive.
1975 "C" Neck and 9.5" Maple Fingerboard
The 1-piece maple neck features a 1975 "C" profile, gloss polyurethane finish and 25.5" scale length for a period-correct mid-'70s Fender feel. A 9.5" maple fingerboard gives this model a slightly flatter playing surface than earlier vintage-radius Fender designs, while 21 medium jumbo frets provide a more substantial feel under the fingers. The bullet-style truss rod and 3-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt mechanism reinforce the 1975 specification with details tied directly to the era.
Independent Controls and Pure Vintage Hardware
The Telecaster Deluxe control layout gives each pickup its own volume and tone control, making it easy to balance output, blend pickup character and shape each position independently. A 3-way toggle on the upper bout provides bridge, combined and neck settings in the layout associated with the original design. Pure Vintage Tele Deluxe tuning machines, a Pure Vintage 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge with stainless steel block saddles and the included chrome bridge cover complete the hardware package with historically grounded detail.
A Mid-'70s Telecaster Built for Fatter Fender Tone
The American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe captures a pivotal moment in Fender history when the Telecaster evolved beyond its traditional single-coil roots. Its alder body, dual CuNiFe Wide-Range humbuckers, 1975 "C" neck, maple fingerboard and Deluxe control layout deliver the bold output, expanded tonal range and distinctive feel that made the original model a favorite among players seeking something different from a standard Telecaster. Whether you're chasing classic rock crunch, roots-driven character or a fuller Fender voice for studio and stage work, the Fender American Vintage II 1975 Telecaster Deluxe offers an authentic recreation of one of the most unique instruments of the mid-'70s era.
