Rare one!
"Pure Vintage" American Vintage I. Pure nitro coating (as opposed to current series II that sadly features nitro over poly). Custom shop grade instrument at a fraction of the price.

Historically accurate to the slightest detail. Bachelite pickguard. Hardware included to switch the electronics to Dark circuit if desired.
The color is lighter (more egg white than yellow than on the pictures)
NB: Pickup in Brussels, or shipping with Bpost
Information about this model from Paul Reno:
Long before the Fender 52 Telecaster Reissues in 1950 the Telecaster was developed by Leo Fender in Fullerton, California and originally introduced as Broadcaster. It is the world’s first solid-body electric guitar that was commercially successful and has been in production ever since. Because of the black pickguard, the early Telecaster had they are sometimes called ‘Black-guard’ Telecaster.
Leo carried over features from the Hawaiian steel guitars Fender had already been making since 1945, such as the ashtray bridge cover and Kluson tuners. Its simple yet effective design with two pickups and a 3-way-switch and revolutionary sound broke ground. Even today with all of the technological advancement this very first design satisfies the demanding needs of many guitarists.
In 1965 Leo Fender sold his company to the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), an American commercial broadcast television network. Under its new ownership Fender produced numerous Telecaster spin-off models throughout the 70s. But most musicians rather played guitars from the 50s and 60s then the new designs. Therefore Bill Schultz and Roger Balmer (CEO and VP) decided in 1981 that they wanted to bring back the glory days of the pre-CBS era and the vintage reissue series was born. In March 1984 an investment group led by William (Bill) Schultz (Fender Musical Instruments Corporation or FMIC) bought Fender from CBS for twelve and a half million dollars. Because the deal did not include production facilities in Fullerton, California the USA guitar production ceased in late 1984. In October 1985 the production started in the new factory in Corona, California where only the Vintage Reissue Stratocaster models were produced until 1986.
The Specs of a 52 Telecaster
Here are the main ingredients of a 1952 Telecaster:
Body: Ash Neck: One-Piece Bolt-On Maple
Fingerboard: Maple, 7.25 Radius
Number of Frets: 21 Vintage Style Frets
Position Inlays: Black Dot
Pickups: Two Single-Coil Pickups with Volume and Tone Controls
Switching: 3-Position Switch
Bridge: 3-Saddle Strings-Through-Body Bridge with Brass Saddles
Pickguard: 1-Ply Black

The original finish on a 1952 Telecaster was blonde. Since it had no UV inhibitors the vintage blonde color turned into a faint yellow color over the years. Butterscotch Blonde (BSB) is supposed to simulate that color.
American Vintage 52 Telecaster
August 2012 - 2017
Model no. 011-0202-850
V + 7 digits stamped on the bridge plate
The American Vintage 52 Telecaster (AV) was advertised as ‘Pure Vintage’ at first (e.g. see the last page of the Fender American Vintage Brochure from 2012). For this reissue Fender did a complete redesign. To get the guitar as accurate as possible the body dimensions and necks of several vintage guitars where remeasured.
The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender’s best-selling guitars (their early-80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was “back” as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, the entire vintage-reissue concept has been completely and comprehensively re-imagined—restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more—based on actual vintage guitars designers tracked down to ensure even greater accuracy.”
“All the new American Vintage Series guitars feature thick and slim necks with profiles and edges carefully re-sculpted to reflect even greater period-correct authenticity, with both maple and rosewood fingerboards, vintage-style frets and bone nuts; all-new vintage-style pickups wound to period-correct specs and sound to accurately reflect specific model years, and even specific periods within specific model years; retooled pickguards, parts, and hardware designed to accurately reflect specific model years (and again, even specific periods within specific model years), and standard and custom-color finishes re-formulated for even greater period-correct authenticity.
The new guitars are the American Vintage 56, 59 and 65 Stratocaster models (56 model also in left-handed version), American Vintage 58 and 64 Telecaster models (64 model also in left-handed version), American Vintage 65 Jazzmaster and American Vintage 65 Jaguar. Also, the American Vintage 52 Telecaster returns to the fold (in right- and left-handed versions) with body, neck, and pickups refined with the best features—tones, curves, perimeters, radii and more—from a handful of extraordinary 52 Telecaster specimens examined by Fender craftsmen.” – Fender
The Pickups are more vintage-accurate sounding and still have Alnico 3 magnets. The Barrel switch tip has a recessed-top which is also more accurate. On some of the previous models, one could see the pickup cavity under the bridge. Not so with the new models.
The neck lacquer on the AV 52 Telecasters is virtually untinted. In comparison, previous models have had an orange-ish heavily tinted neck. The new ones are looking much lighter. The neck has rolled edges that give it a broken-in feel. The frets are more rounded on the top giving them a feeling of being taller without actually being it. Some people expressed concern that the rolled edges could make refretting harder, if necessary. But I have not yet heard of anybody actually refretting one.
The color of the BSB is also lighter and less orange-ish. Previous models were sometimes called “Pumpkincaster”. While you could see through the previous finish the new one has a tint so you can see less of the grain.
The AV 52 Tele was the first of the 52 reissues to have a Flash Coat Lacquer (supposedly the same lacquer as Fenders Thin Skin models) that was all Nitro with a Nitro Sanding sealer, Nitro color and Nitro topcoat (according to Rob Schwarz, Fender). The Vintage Lacquer Information Sheet was part of the case candy and warned customers about possible “checking” or cracking of the wood. When Fender replaced the AV series with the American Original (AO) they started using the same body finishes as the AVRI (urethane base coat under lacquers) again.
This is the first 52 Tele Reissue that comes with a thinner case and the modern wiring of bridge/both/neck standard and a kit to convert it to the vintage wiring (bridge/neck/neck with the tone capacitor) (see AV 52 Telecaster Service Diagram). All prior versions came from the factory with the vintage wiring and the kit to convert it to modern wiring (e.g. see AVRI 52 Telecaster Service Diagram).
It is also the first one that lets you identify the year of production by the serial number. If you have V12 + 5 digits stamped on the bridge plate your guitar was made in 2012.
