Fender American Original 50s Telecaster - Butterscotch Blonde

The new American Original '50s Telecaster has all of the authentic Fender features of a Telecaster but with a modern feel and pickup switching.

The Pure Vintage '52 single-coil Telecaster pickups are as period-correct as possible, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 3 magnets. Fender have even made sure the steel base plates are copper-plated, while the pickups' pole pieces are flush-mounted like the originals. The thick "U"-shaped neck profile fills the fret hand, while the 9.5"-radius fingerboard will feel familiar to any player. This guitar also has vintage-tall frets, original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware-including three brass barrel saddles, vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood "breathe" naturally with resonant tone, it also wears in a distinctively appealing way.
