Fender American Elite Telecaster with Maple Fretboard – Aged Cherry Burst – First-Year Production (2015 Serial Number)

Up for sale is a stunning Fender American Elite Telecaster in the beautiful Aged Cherry Burst finish with a Maple fretboard. This guitar features a 2015 serial number, making it one of the earliest American Elite Telecasters produced when Fender introduced the Elite series in late 2015 for the 2016 model year. Early examples like this are becoming increasingly desirable among players and collectors looking for the first generation of Fender's flagship modern production Telecaster.

This guitar is in excellent condition and has been exceptionally well cared for. It is fully functional, professionally maintained, and plays beautifully. The neck feels fantastic, the electronics operate flawlessly, and the instrument delivers everything the American Elite series is known for—classic Telecaster twang combined with modern performance and versatility.

Cosmetically, the guitar is remarkably clean. It has only one or two very small scratches in the lacquer finish that are difficult to notice and are typical of careful ownership. Aside from these minor cosmetic imperfections, the guitar presents beautifully and is exceptionally clean.

• Early production Fender American Elite Telecaster
