Description

Step into the world of iconic Fender craftsmanship with the Fender Telecaster Bigsby, a guitar that merges vintage allure with modern precision. Revered for its Bigsby®-Licensed B50 Vibrato, this Telecaster allows players to express creative vibrato effects without sacrificing the signature Tele twang. The re-voiced vintage-style ‘60s single-coil Tele pickups deliver that unmistakable crisp, articulate tone that made Fender a household name.

Crafted with an alder body and a gloss polyester finish, this solid-body electric guitar is not only visually striking but also resonant and durable. The neck, made from maple and shaped in the classic Early '60s "C" profile, is paired with a smooth Pau Ferro fingerboard, offering a comfortable grip for effortless playability. Whether you're laying down a snarling lead or a smooth rhythm, the 7.25” radius and 21 vintage-style frets provide a classic playing feel that suits any style.

Vintage-style tuning machines ensure rock-solid performance and tuning stability, while the 3-ply mint green pickguard adds a touch of retro elegance. Complete with a deluxe gig bag, the Fender Telecaster Bigsby is ready to accompany you from the studio to the stage with style and grace.

Critic Reviews

Reviewed: Fender Vintera Series Telecasters - Mixdown Magazine

mixdownmag.com.au

The Fender Vintera Series Telecasters deliver vintage charm with modern playability. The '60s Telecaster Bigsby model impresses with its style but falls short with tuning stability due to its Bigsby vibrato. The Thinline boasts excellent playability and sound, while the Deluxe Custom offers a well-rounded tone. Despite minor flaws, these guitars provide great value and capture the essence of classic Telecasters.

In this photo credited to a FanPop website, shows a TV performance of Tony Hicks playing a Fender Telecaster. This Telecaster has a Bigsby attachment which is fitted at the back of the guitar. Tony would use telecasters, mainly this white cream version, throughout the 1970s, with performances of Air That I Breathe, Son Of A Rotten Gambler, and many more. He would stop using the telecaster for awhile during the late 70s, and early 80s, but would bring it up again for a few more performances. As of now, this Telecaster's presence is unknown, most likely within Tony's collection.
