Fender expands 75th Anniversary Telecaster collection

Fender has expanded its 75th Anniversary Collection with the release of several new Telecaster models, including the American Vintage II 1951 Nocaster. The Nocaster reissue recreates the period-correct instrument from 1951 that featured a blank headstock due to a trademark dispute with Gretsch. This model includes an ash body with Heirloom Lacquer, a 'U'-shaped maple neck, and Blackguard Telecaster pickups.

The expansion also includes models from the Player II line. This includes a new Baritone Telecaster featuring a 27-inch scale length and Alnico V single-coil pickups, available in various finishes such as 3-Color Sunburst, Black, Lake Placid Blue, and Butterscotch Blonde. Additionally, a limited-edition 75th Anniversary Player II Telecaster has been introduced, featuring a special 75th Anniversary neckplate and four exclusive colorways.
