Description
Before the Telecaster, there wasn’t really anything like it — a plank-simple, working guitarist’s tool that ended up reshaping country, blues, and eventually rock and metal. The American Original ’50s Telecaster brings that founding design back with the details players obsess over, plus a little modern usability layered in.
- Ash body finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, so the wood keeps breathing and the finish ages the way old Teles do
- Chunky 1952 “U”-shaped maple neck with a 9.5″ fingerboard radius — vintage feel without punishing your hand
- 21 vintage-tall frets, bone nut, and black dot inlays
- Pure Vintage ’52 single-coil Tele pickups, built to spec with enamel-coated coil wire, cloth output leads, fiber bobbins, alnico 3 magnets, and copper-plated steel base plates for that authentic bite
- 3-position blade switching: bridge, bridge+neck, neck
- 3-saddle strings-through-body bridge with brass barrel saddles, nickel/chrome hardware, and Pure Vintage single-line Fender Deluxe tuners
- 1-ply black phenolic pickguard and knurled dome control knobs
- Strung with Fender USA 250R NPS strings (.010-.046)
- Includes vintage-style hardshell case
Every piece here is chosen to recreate the original’s sound and feel rather than reinvent it — this is the Telecaster that started the whole conversation, built the way it was meant to be.
