Description
Fender didn’t just update the Telecaster with the American Elite series – they rethought what a workhorse solidbody guitar should feel like in 2024. This Ocean Turquoise example pairs classic Tele twang with a set of upgrades built for players who need speed, comfort, and dead-quiet electronics.
- Alder body with a gloss polyurethane finish in Ocean Turquoise, shaped with an ergonomic rear body contour
- Maple neck and maple fingerboard, satin urethane on the neck with a gloss headstock face
- Compound-profile neck: modern “C” at the nut, easing into a modern “D” near the heel for effortless upper-fret access
- 9.5″-14″ compound-radius fingerboard, 25.5″ scale, 22 medium jumbo frets, synthetic bone nut (1.685″ width)
- New 4th-generation Noiseless bridge and neck pickups – vintage-inspired chime and grit without the hum
- Master Volume with S-1 switch, Master No-Load Tone, 3-position blade switching
- 6-saddle American Tele bridge with chromed brass saddles, Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking tuners with a short-post design for a cleaner break angle at the nut
- 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, knurled flat-top knobs, black chrome headstock logo, large pearloid dot inlays
- Dual-action truss rod adjustable at the neck heel for on-the-fly relief tweaks
- Strung with Fender USA NPS strings (.009-.042)
Whether you’re chasing sparkling cleans for studio work or need a Tele that can snarl through an overdriven set, this guitar covers the range. It ships in a redesigned Elite Molded Case with TSA locks, so it’s protected the moment it leaves the shop.
