Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic Telecaster single-coil tone
The vintage-style single-coil Telecaster pickups are voiced to deliver the sharp attack and clarity associated with classic ’60s Tele tones. The bridge pickup offers bright bite and definition that cuts through a mix, while the neck pickup provides a warmer, rounder sound for smoother lines. Used together, they deliver the familiar hollow character Telecasters are known for. Simple master volume and tone controls keep things intuitive, letting your picking dynamics shape the sound naturally.
Traditional U-shaped neck feel
The U-shaped maple neck gives the guitar a reassuringly solid feel that reflects traditional Fender designs. A 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and vintage-size frets keep playability comfortable and controlled, making chord work, bends and position changes feel predictable. The gloss urethane finish adds durability while maintaining a classic look. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard, the neck delivers a balanced feel that suits both rhythm playing and lead work.
Limited edition finish for 2025
The Competition Black / 3-Color Sunburst finish puts a fresh spin on Fender’s classic competition stripe idea. Instead of solid colour racing lines, this version uses Fender’s iconic 3-Color Sunburst within the stripes themselves, creating a look that feels bold, original and unmistakably tied to Fender history. It balances vintage inspiration with a more expressive, modern edge, giving the guitar standout visual character while still feeling rooted in classic Fender design.
Vintage hardware and familiar response
A three-saddle vintage-style Telecaster bridge with threaded steel saddles delivers the snap, sustain and slightly loose feel associated with early designs. Vintage-style tuners maintain stable tuning while preserving the correct look. Nickel and chrome hardware finishes add durability for regular rehearsals, recording and gigging. Built in Japan with Fender’s attention to detail, the guitar offers dependable performance and a familiar feel that suits everyday playing without unnecessary complexity.
