Highlights

  • Fender Factory Special Run (FSR) U.S.-built exclusive model
  • Ash body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer

The Fender FSR Limited Edition American Vintage II ’51 Telecaster in Black brings together early-’50s authenticity with refined modern playability. Built in the U.S. as a dealer-exclusive Factory Special Run, this model honors the original blackguard Telecaster design while introducing premium upgrades like a 3A flame maple neck and Custom Shop Texas Special pickups.

The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish over an ash body delivers both resonance and classic visual depth, while the satin-finished neck feels fast, worn-in, and stage-ready. From the twangy bite of the bridge to the round warmth of the neck pickup, this Tele delivers the full range of tones that defined the birth of rock, country, and blues. Finished with period-correct hardware, a serialized bridge plate, and chrome ashtray cover, it’s a faithful reimagining of a true American icon.
