Fender American Deluxe Ash Tele

Description

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Ash Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard, and 2 Noiseless N3 Pickups — Butterscotch Blonde

The Tele for the Modern Player!

When you want that classic Tele® look and tone, combined with a healthy dose of modern advantages, you're asking for Fender's American Deluxe Ash Telecaster! This 21st-century take on the Tele has the distinction of a traditional ash body, for a nod to the past. But FENDER® made sure this Tele was looking straight-ahead toward the future. It's got a new compound-radius fretboard, so you can string bend wherever you want along the neck — the American Deluxe Ash Telecaster® feels great under your fingers. Next up, this beauty features staggered locking tuners for stability you'll appreciate. And the duo of new N3 Noiseless™ pickups gives you those Telecaster tones you love — bell-like and chimey, the way you want 'em — but without the issues with hum. It's the twang icon you know and love, brought into today — the Fender American Deluxe Ash Telecaster!
