This 2016 Fender American Pro Tele Deluxe is a stunner! This guitar has the nicest flame maple neck that we have seen on an American Pro guitar. The guitar has been really well cared for over its 10 years of life. There are minor pick marks on the black pickguard. There is a minor scratch on the back, near the belly cut. There are a few small impressions on the back lower edge. The guitar has minor fret wear, with heaps of life left in the frets. The guitar comes freshly restrung, setup and detailed by our crew and it is ready for its new home. The guitar comes complete with the original Fender branded hard case, as pictured.

In the late '60s and early '70s guitarists wanted hum-free tone based on the sound of an amp about to blow up. You asked - so we listened and created the Telecaster Deluxe in 1973. Today's version, the American Professional Telecaster Deluxe ShawBucker, brings modern, player-oriented features to the stage and studio, and can still make an amp sizzle without breaking a sweat.

With its flexible sound and vintage-voiced pickups, the Telecaster Deluxe adds a touch of girth to the traditional Telecaster twang and bite. From pop and punk to the most brutal modern metal, the Telecaster Deluxe has powered countless recordings and infinite stages, creating the music we love.

The pair of warm, rich-sounding ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position, producing powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern "Deep C"-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.

The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Telecaster Deluxe ShawBucker is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.
