About this listing
Here for sale we have a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Electric Guitar in Butterscotch Blonde finish. Made between 2005 and 2007, this bolt-on constructed guitar consists of an Ash body, a Maple neck, a 21-fret Maple fingerboard, and this guitar has also been professionally relic'd. Other appointments include Fender Vintage-Style tuners, a 3-barrel brass saddle ashtray bridge, and a set of Fender American Vintage Single Coil Pickups that are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.This guitar was designed to be the ultimate vintage experience without the huge price tag. The American Vintage series was created to present the player with original-era model year guitars. The Ash body provides a very balanced tonal foundation which pairs very well with the Maple neck that gives that classic Tele snap that you would expect from such an instrument. The 'U' shaped neck isn't as chunky as later iterations of this model, but it is still very much suitably vintage-inspired. The vintage frets and 7.25" radius provide a suitably traditional playing experience, well suited to country and blues styles.The Fender American Vintage Single Coils provide the player with the traditional Tele sound that has long been sought after. These period-correct single-coils deliver a tight low end, clear and balanced midrange and a sparkling, crystalline treble response. The neck pickup is both warm and articulate, delivering a buttery smooth tone for your lead lines and solo tones. The middle position is nicely balanced, and is well suited to funky rhythm parts and chordal playing. The bridge pickup really is the main event though, with a searing Tele 'Twang' that is perfectly suited to country licks and bluesy riffing, easily cutting through the mix to put your playing front and centre.Brand- FenderModel- American Vintage Reissue '52 TelecasterFinish- Butterscotch BlondeYear- 2005-07Made In- USABody- AshNeck- MapleNeck Profile- 'U'Fingerboard- MapleFingerboard Radius- 7.25"Frets- 21Scale Length- 25.5"Nut Width- 1.65"Pickups- 2x American Vintage Single CoilsControls- Master Volume, Master Tone, 3-way pickup selectorLuthier ReportOur ID: 1311026255520Weight: 7.6lbs Serial: 58695Aesthetic Condition:Headstock: Overall very good condition.
