The Fender AMERICAN VINTAGE ‘52 TELE is so simple, yet incredibly versatile! Since the introduction of the original Tele in the early ’50s, guitarists in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster guitar for its powerful tone and smooth playability. One of the longest-running production models in Fender’s history, the Telecaster guitar has been modified only slightly in its more than 50 legendary years, with its great strength inherent in its classic simplicity. All original specs are adhered to in this faithful reissue. Its premium ash body, one-piece U-shaped maple neck with 7.25 inch - radius fingerboard, single-ply black pickguard and original Tele circuit with three-position switch exude vintage authenticity, as do the brass bridge saddles and ashtray bridge cover. A vintage six-saddle bridge and a modern wiring update kit are included. Fender really do pay homage to their own with the American Vintage ’52 Telecaster.
