2016 Fender American Elite Telecaster Rosewood Aged Cherry Burst

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.
