Fender American Standard Telecaster - Blizzard Pearl - Rosewood Neck
The new Fender American Standard Telecaster takes the original classic design that has been widely vaunted since the 50's and incorporated a range of modern features that make today's guitar revered as an industry standard in playability and tone.
The body of the Fender USA Telecaster is Alder. Alder is an excellent tone wood which is widely associated with the Telecaster guitar. This resonates nicely which transfers through to the plugged in tone of the instrument. The American Standard Tele uses a thinner undercoat than previous models which allows the body of the guitar to resonate more naturally than thicker painted versions.
The neck of the guitars are maple with a satin finish on the back which allows smooth, non sticky play up and down the neck. This is topped with either a Rosewood or Maple fingerboard with rolled edges again adding to the overall smoothness of playing.
The guitar is equipped with excellent american Tele single coils. For all the sparkly Telecaster sounds that have made the guitar famous - no need to look further. The American Tele is fitted with one volume and one tone control one of which is a delta tone control which from 1-9 functions as a normal tone control, but at 10 takes the control out of the loop completely delivering more bass and high end along with higher out put, great for you solos and that retro bite that the Telecaster is famous for.
The guitar also comes with it's own fitted hardcase as standard.
