Description
The early ’70s were a wild time for the Telecaster line, and this ’72 Telecaster Deluxe captures that era’s boldest experiment: humbucking pickups on a Tele, paired with Stratocaster-style styling cues. It’s a guitar that splits the difference between twang and thickness, giving you access to tones the original blackguard Tele simply couldn’t reach.
Under the hood you get a genuine alder body finished in gloss Black polyester, mated to a one-piece maple neck with that comfortable C-shape profile and a 12-inch radius maple fretboard. The vintage-correct bullet truss rod and three-bolt neckplate with Micro-Tilt adjustment make setup a breeze, while the ’70s-style oversized Stratocaster headstock gives it that unmistakable silhouette.
Tone comes from a pair of Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups, one at the neck and one at the bridge, each with independent volume and tone controls routed through the classic four-knob layout and a simple 3-way toggle. The hardtail bridge strings through the body Strat-style, for firm sustain and easy string changes, and everything rides on Fender’s vintage F-style tuners with chrome hardware throughout.
