Fender Vintera Il '50s Nocaster Electric Guitar - Blackguard Blonde

On the bench today is the Fender Vintera Il '50s Nocaster Electric Guitar - Blackguard Blonde. Of all my all-time favorites in guitars is the butterscotch blonde telecaster with a black guard. If the guitar is configured with slotted tuners, basic telecaster controls, 7.25-inch radius, vintage shaped neck, and 50s style pickups you have a guitar platform that can pretty much do ANYTHING. You will see musicians famous or not in every venue and every music genre including rock, country, jazz, blues, and punk with this very guitar strapped to their bodies. It is one of the most iconic looking guitars. To put it succinctly – it just looks f’ing cool. I have a large collection of guitars. It is very difficult to keep track of specific guitars. I regularly have this aha moment where I will open a case and say, “where did this come from?” Because of this craziness it is easy for me to sell something thinking it is a duplicate and then find out later that it was not. I recently went looking for a US or Mexican made Fender Vintage Butterscotch Blonde telecaster with two vintage single coil pickups. I found several butterscotch blonde Teles, but they all had different pickup combinations like p90s and Jazzmaster pickups in them. The only butterscotch blonde tele I found with single coils was a Squier CV 50s Telecaster. First off, I used to have several of the Squier CV 50s. I also had several MIM and US made versions of the guitars. I do not know how I let this happen. Where did my guitars go? I think I need to be better when I sell or trade guitars off. I used this as an excuse to start looking for a guitar to fill the vacancy. I really like the Fender Vintera II guitars. When it comes to the Vintera II 60s Telecaster I think this guitar is a better dollar investment, as good a player, and as good of quality when compared to its US made counterpart. I have shown in other videos how the MIM guitars hold better resell value after purchase than the American guitars. The data is out there, and it tells the truth. Here is an example: Fender Vintera II '50s Nocaster Retail $999 Used $593 - $834 Fender American Vintage II '51 Telecaster Retail $2449 Used $1,341 - $1,775 MSRP Low Loss High Loss $ 999.00 $ 593.00 59% 41% $ 834.00 83% 17% $ 2,449.00 $ 1,341.00 55% 45% $ 1,775.00 72% 28% Fender recently lowered the prices on the Vintera II line by $150 for a new guitar. That means a guitar that normally goes for $1149 I can get for $999. I had played a Fender Vintera II ‘50s Nocaster before and it is a fine guitar. I went ahead and placed my order directly from Fender and shortly after the guitar was delivered. Here are some of the specifications for the Vintera II ‘50s Nocaster. The guitar is made in Ensenada Mexico. The guitar comes with an Alder body that is finished with Gloss Polyester. There are two colors offered: Butterscotch Blonde and Vintage Two Color Sunburst. The maple neck has a thin 50’s U shaped neck with a 7.25-inch radius. There are 21 vintage tall frets, the nut width is 1.650 inch, and the nut material is synthetic bone. The guitar’s scale length is 25.5 inches. The truss rod adjustment is vintage and located in the heal of the neck. Tuners are Fender slotted Vintage Style. There is a Fender 3-Saddle Vintage Style through body Tele bridge with Barrel Brass Saddles. The neck and bridge Pickups are both Fender Vintage-style '50s Tele Single-coil with the bridge being an alnico 3 magnet based pickup and the neck is an alnico 2 based pickup. For the Controls there is a single volume control and single tone control with a 3-way blade pickup selector switch. The guitar actually comes with a Fender Deluxe Padded Gig Bag. This as of lately is something to be really happy with since Fender now sells the entire Player II series without cases or gig bags. Retail price for the guitar is $999 at this date and used the guitar goes for between $590 and $837 depending upon condition. Opinions and observations Measuring pickup impedance. The bridge pickup measures 6.96 k ohms. The bridge and neck pickups combined measure 3.63 k ohms and the neck pickup by itself measures 7.37 k ohms. My guitar weighs 7 pounds and 7 ounces or 3.385 kilos. The electronics are the same you will find in US made guitar. CTS pots, Fender Three Way Pickup Selector Switch. Very good workmanship on the wiring harness. One note – to keep the vintage look every single mounting screw in the guitar on bridge, pickguard, control panel, etc are all slotted screws and not Philips.
