Full Description

Lightweight Body

The American Professional Telecaster Deluxe features an ash body, which is renowned for delivering a twangy, airy, and sweet tone, along with firm lows, pleasant highs, a slightly scooped midrange. As well as delivering an overall resonant tone and good sustain, ash also carries a broad grain that looks great under a translucent finishes. Its lightweight properties allows the user to play the guitar for longer without strain on their shoulder, and is the perfect choice for beginners. For aesthetic appeal, players can benefit from the Gloss Polyurethane coating, which protects the guitar from wear and tear, along with a full host of classic Fender appointments including skirted amp control knobs, angled headstock, six saddle bridge with string-through body and a pickguard.

New Neck Profile

The new Deep C neck profile is designed for comfort and speed, providing substantial shoulders which creates a more natural feel in the player's hand, and is also perfect for achieving chords and single notes. Mounted with a maple fingerboard, players can achieve a crisp, snappy tone, compared to a rosewood.

Narrow Tall Frets

In addition to its comfortable neck profile, the Telecaster features 22 narrow tall frets, mounted on the maple fingerboard. These are slightly narrower than standard medium jumbo frets and are effective for bending notes and playing chords with superb intonation. They also offer extreme comfort, and improve hand flexibility.

Real Bone Nut for Sustain

A real bone nut is also incorporated into the design of the Telecaster, offering a classic appearance and excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.

Shawbucker Pickups & Treble Bleed Circuit

This Deluxe Telecaster is equipped with a pair of warm, rich-sounding Shawbucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position, producing powerful, nuanced tones with flexibility. Both pickups add a touch of girth to the original Telecaster tone, and can be used in many different styles of music. As well as these vintage voiced pickups, the Telecaster Deluxe also features a treble bleed circuit which maintains the high-end when played at low volumes, for home practice when loud volume isn't permitted.

Elite Moulded Case

Finally, no guitar would be complete without a hardshell case. The Elite moulded case features body-hugging contours which holds your guitar firmly in place. TSA latches are also included for enhanced security and easy access. This durable case is also stackable for easy storage and transport.
