Key Features

Time-Honoured Ash Body - Ash has a long history with Fender, being ones for some of the very first Teles in the early '50s. It is lightweight and extremely resonant. And its vibrant tonal qualities offer a strong voice - serving as the perfect sonic foundation for the sweet-sounding pickups. It has all the brightness and twang you could want from any good Tele!

Bolt-on Construction - The bolt-on neck is Fender's neck construction method of choice, and is a large factor in their signature "snappy" attack, which is essential for a Telecaster.

"U" Shaped Neck - Classic profile provides comfortable playability, which will fit perfectly into almost any player's hand.

Narrow Tall Frets - A perfect blend of vintage tone and modern playability. They offer the height of a modern fret, giving you a familiar feel, but their narrow construction ensures that the "woodiness" of your tone stays intact, as you would get with a smaller, vintage fret.

Vintage Tele Pickups - Although it might not look like a classic Tele, it certainly sounds like one. With all of the warmth and smoothness you expect from the neck pickup, and all the bite, twang and power you could want in the bridge. And of course, you get a sweet, chimey and percussive middle position that the Tele is so famed for.

Bone Nut - Low-friction material minimizes unwanted tuning slips and enhances sustain.

Vintage-Style Tuners - High-quality, old-school tuning machines allow for precise string pitching.
