Description
The American Special Telecaster proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to own a genuine Fender made in the USA. Built around an alder body and topped with a maple neck carved in the comfortable Modern “C” profile, this Tele is designed for players who want authentic feel and tone without the fuss. The 9.5″ fingerboard radius paired with 22 jumbo frets makes bending and fast lead work feel natural, whether you’re chicken-picking or laying into power chords.
Tone comes courtesy of a pair of Texas Special single-coils, known for their punchy midrange and vocal bite – a favorite among players chasing that twangy, aggressive Tele growl. Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit is wired in too, letting you dial back the highs without piling on unwanted bass, so your tone stays clear and focused as you roll off the control.
Hardware-wise, this guitar sticks to time-tested Telecaster tradition: a vintage-style three-saddle, string-through-body bridge with brass saddles for that classic snap and sustain, chrome-finished tuning machines, and a synthetic bone nut. The gloss urethane finish over Vintage Blonde gives it a clean, road-worthy look that ages well.
