Fender AV II 63 Tele RW VBL

Fender AV II 63 Tele RW VBL review

The Fender AV II 63 Tele RW VBL is a U.S.-made, six-string electric guitar with a 25.5-inch scale, two single-coil pickups, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its specification points to a vintage-oriented Telecaster design, with a 1963 C-shaped neck, a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius, and a three-saddle bridge. The product listing gives a price of 2,490, without specifying a currency.

There is no customer feedback available for this model, so this assessment is limited to the supplied specifications. Those details describe the construction and controls, but they cannot establish how the guitar feels in hand, how it sounds through an amplifier, or how consistently a particular instrument is set up.

Construction and specification discrepancy

The body wood needs clarification. The listing identifies the body as alder in one specification field, while the detailed description names ash. Both entries appear in the supplied data, and there is no information that resolves the conflict. Buyers should confirm the body wood with Fender or the retailer before purchasing if that distinction matters to them.

The neck is maple and uses a bolt-on joint. Its stated profile is a 1963 C, paired with a rosewood fingerboard and clay dot inlays. The 7.25-inch radius is relatively curved compared with many flatter modern fingerboards. The specs alone do not indicate whether that radius or neck shape will suit a particular player, but they do give a clear basis for comparing the instrument with other guitars.

The fingerboard has 21 vintage-tall frets. Fender does not provide fret dimensions, so "vintage tall" is the only supplied description of their size. The nut is bone, measures 42 mm wide, and sits at the beginning of a 648 mm scale. That scale length is also listed as 25.5 inches.

Pickups, controls, and bridge

Two Pure Vintage 63 Tele single-coil pickups provide the guitar's pickup configuration. A three-way switch selects between them, while one master volume and one master tone control serve the instrument. The specifications do not include pickup output, magnet type, or frequency measurements. Any description of the exact sound would therefore go beyond the available evidence.

The bridge is a Pure Vintage three-saddle Tele design with threaded steel saddles. This is a specific vintage-style configuration, rather than a multi-saddle bridge with an individual saddle for each string. The listing does not state the setup, intonation accuracy, or adjustment range on the supplied instrument, so those details should be checked on the individual guitar.

Other hardware includes Pure Vintage Single Line "Fender Deluxe" tuning machines and nickel- and chrome-plated parts. The guitar ships with Fender USA 250L strings, described as nickel-plated steel with a.010 to.046 gauge. A single-ply white pickguard completes the stated exterior details. No tremolo is fitted.

Included items and availability

A brown, vintage-style case with orange lining is included. The product data also confirms that a case is included and that a separate bag is not. Availability is listed as June 2026, and the item number is 636517. The sales unit is one guitar.

Color is given as Vintage Blonde, with "Vintage Blond" appearing in one field. This is a naming variation in the supplied data, not evidence of two different finishes. The listing does not provide finish material, gloss level, or detailed color measurements.

Assessment

The documented appeal is a traditional Telecaster layout: a maple bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard, two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector, and a three-saddle bridge. The 1963 C profile, clay dot markers, and vintage-style tuning machines further define the stated specification. The included hard case is also confirmed.

The most important purchasing check is the unresolved body-wood conflict between alder and ash. Other practical details, including actual weight, setup, fret condition, and instrument-specific sound, are not provided. With no customer reviews available, the specifications support a careful technical comparison, but not a conclusion about playing experience or performance. Confirm the body material and inspect the guitar's setup before treating the listed details as a complete account of the individual instrument.
