V-Mod II Telecaster Pickup Technology

At the heart of this Telecaster are Tim Shaw-designed V-Mod II Telecaster pickups. These modern interpretations are voiced for today's players while maintaining classic Telecaster character. The bridge pickup delivers that famous Telecaster twang with enhanced clarity and output, while the neck pickup provides warm, smooth tones perfect for rhythm work and jazz. Together, they create the most versatile Telecaster tone palette Fender has ever produced.

Butterscotch Blonde Finish

The Butterscotch Blonde finish is the most iconic Telecaster color - a warm, golden hue that has defined the Telecaster aesthetic since 1951. This classic finish showcases the alder body's contours and looks stunning on stage or in the studio. From country legends to rock pioneers, Butterscotch Blonde Telecasters have graced countless iconic performances and recordings.

Maple Fingerboard

The maple fingerboard adds brightness and snap to the Telecaster's already articulate voice. Maple provides a smooth, fast playing surface with a bright attack that cuts through any mix. The natural wood grain and gloss finish create the classic one-piece neck aesthetic that's been a Telecaster hallmark for over 70 years.

Modern Playability

The Deep C neck profile strikes the perfect balance - substantial enough to feel like a real guitar, slim enough for fast playing and comfortable chording. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck eliminates stickiness, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with narrow tall frets and a 9.5" radius fingerboard, this guitar plays as good as it looks.

Perfect For:

Whether you're a professional player demanding reliable performance night after night, a country guitarist seeking authentic Telecaster twang in the classic finish, a rock player wanting cutting tone and timeless style, or a Telecaster enthusiast who appreciates the most iconic color ever applied to a Tele, this Butterscotch Blonde beauty delivers. Its combination of classic aesthetics, premium features, and versatile tone makes it the ultimate Telecaster.
