Fender American Deluxe Tele 2014 w/hsc
Absolutely killer high- end Tele! The American Deluxe was the spiritual predecessor to the American Ultra - sitting at the flagship of FMIC's production line. Something of a factory hot-rodded model, it features the famous S-1 switching system, adding tons of tonal options to the already versatile Tele platform. Cosmetically Fender gives you nice abalone dot inlays along with a chromed Fender decal - giving a subtle nod to the guitar's performance. This is undoubtled a classy guitar with it's bound top and Aged Cherry Burst finish!
It features a 22 fret maple fretboard, with a 9.5" to 14" compound radius and typical 25.5" scale length. Pickups are the Gen 3 Noiseless set - which offer great clarity and are as quiet as a humbucker - something welcome to stage and studio work. The saddles are made of chromed brass, providing a modern look without giving up the classic twang and sustain of brass. The belly carve is a nice feature rarely found on a Tele as well, and along with it's sculpted neck heel, this one was designed with performance and ergonomics in mind.
It is currently setup with a nice low string height of about .055" at the 12th fret, and is a lot of fun to play! It is stage ready, and only needs a new owner!
Includes original hardshell case.
