Fender LTD AV II 51 Tele MN BLK

Fender LTD AV II 51 Tele MN BLK review

The Fender LTD AV II 51 Tele MN BLK is a U.S.-made, two-pickup electric guitar with an ash body, a flamed maple neck and fingerboard, and a black finish. Its specification combines a 25.5-inch scale, a three-saddle bridge, and two Custom Shop Texas Special Tele single-coil pickups. The listed price is 2799, with no currency specified in the supplied data. The model has been available since October 2025, and its item number is 625382.

No customer reviews are available for this product. This assessment is therefore based on the published specifications alone. Those details describe the materials, layout, and included accessories, but do not establish how a particular instrument sounds, feels, or performs in use.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The body is made from ash, with no separate top listed. Fender specifies an AAA flamed maple neck and an AAA flamed maple fingerboard. The neck attaches to the body with a bolt-on joint, and its profile is described as Oval C. The fingerboard has a 241 mm, or 9.5-inch, radius, black dot inlays, and 21 medium jumbo frets.

The 648 mm, or 25.5-inch, scale length is a standard long scale measurement for this style of guitar. The nut is 42 mm, or 1.65 inches, wide and made from bone. These figures provide useful reference points for players comparing neck dimensions and scale lengths. They do not, on their own, indicate whether the neck will suit a player's hand or preferred setup.

The use of AAA flamed maple is specified for both the neck and fingerboard. The data does not give further details about the wood's grading criteria, finish, or selection process, so the designation should be read as the manufacturer's material description rather than a guarantee of any particular appearance or playing response.

Pickups and controls

The guitar has two Custom Shop Texas Special Tele single-coil pickups. Fender lists one master volume control, one master tone control, and a three-way pickup switch. That is a straightforward control layout: the switch selects among the available pickup combinations, while the two knobs provide overall volume and tone adjustment. The supplied specifications do not include output measurements, frequency response, or detailed descriptions of the pickup voicing. Claims about brightness, output, or suitability for a specific musical style would go beyond the available information.

The factory strings are Fender USA 250R nickel-plated steel strings in a.010 to.046 gauge set. The strings are a replaceable setup component, and the listing does not state whether alternate gauges are recommended or how the guitar is adjusted from the factory.

Bridge and tuning hardware

A Pure Vintage three-saddle Tele bridge uses brass barrel saddles. The model has no tremolo, so the bridge is a fixed design rather than a moving pitch system. Fender also lists Pure Vintage Single Line "Fender Deluxe" machine heads. The hardware finish is nickel and chrome.

The three-saddle arrangement is a defining part of the stated bridge specification, but the listing does not describe individual saddle adjustment options or provide setup measurements. Buyers who need details such as action, neck relief, or intonation at delivery should confirm those points with the seller. The same applies to the machine heads: their model is named, but no tuning-ratio or locking specification is supplied.

Included case and buying considerations

The package includes a vintage-style Tweed case with "Crushed Red" lining. A separate gig bag is not included. That distinction matters when comparing the complete package with other listings, particularly for players who need a lighter carrying option. The specifications identify the case's style and lining but do not provide its dimensions, weight, or construction details.

As listed, the Fender LTD AV II 51 Tele MN BLK is a fixed-bridge Telecaster with an ash body, flamed maple neck and fingerboard, and a two-single-coil control scheme. Its measurements and component names make it possible to compare it with other guitars on paper. They cannot substitute for an in-person assessment of neck comfort, weight, finish, or sound. Since there are no customer comments in the supplied information, no buyer experience or consensus can be reported.

Bottom line: The confirmed specification covers the core construction, pickup arrangement, bridge, hardware, and included case. Before purchase, verify the price currency, current availability, and any setup or condition details with the seller. The supplied data does not state the guitar's weight or provide a factory setup sheet.
