The 2016 Fender American Elite Telecaster Rosewood Aged Cherry Burst combines classic Telecaster tone and styling with modern features designed for exceptional playability and versatility. Its alder body features a striking Aged Cherry Burst finish, elegant white binding, and a three-ply pearloid pickguard. The maple neck has a compound Modern "C" to "D" profile that gradually changes shape as you move up the neck, providing a comfortable feel for both rhythm playing and lead work. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard featuring a 9.5"-14" compound radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, this Telecaster offers effortless bends and smooth access across the fingerboard. A pair of 4th Generation Noiseless pickups delivers the familiar clarity, twang, and articulation of classic Telecaster single-coils while minimizing unwanted hum. The S-1 switching system adds a series wiring option for a thicker, more powerful sound when both pickups are selected. Deluxe locking tuners, a six-saddle bridge with chromed brass saddles, and a sculpted asymmetrical neck heel complete this versatile American Elite Telecaster.
Condition: Very Good. Light scratching and impressions throughout the top, with worming on the back.
