Fender American Vintage ii 1951 Telecaster vs. American Vintage i 1952 Telecaster. The Battle!!

Shootout time!! I've been in the market for a butterscotch vintage spec Telecaster, and since I've had such good luck with both of my Fender American Vintage ii Stratocasters ('61 and '57), I decided to grab the 1951 Telecaster

Oh... But... But.... Since the third generation of the American Vintage I series is so ridiculously nice also, I had to grab the 1952 Telecaster and try that one too....

In this video I offer an absolutely unbiased, unaffected initial impression because I literally strap a blindfold to my peanut head and try these axes out for the first time with no idea which is which.

One stays.... One finds a new home...
