2014 FENDER CALIFORNIA SERIES “T-BUCKET” 300-CE-3TS IN THREE TONE SUNBURST FINISH

2014 Fender California Series “T-Bucket” is beautiful, and more importantly, has sonic personality to match!

The tone is medium, neither deep resonating nor twangy. The mahogany back and sides do a great job of tempering the brightness of the maple top, resulting in a much warmer and thicker sound.

description

The Fender T-Bucket 300CE would be a classic dreadnought if it weren’t for the single cutaway. This feature makes it particularly suited for those who have already been playing for a while, and like to use the higher-end strings. The excellent choices of material; with maple for top, mahogany for back, sides and neck, and rosewood for bridge and fretboard make this guitar a sonic workhorse. The back and sides of the Fender T-Bucket are laminated mahogany, making it fairly sturdy and able to weather some (chance) punishment. The top is flame maple, also known as tiger maple due to its distinctive tiger-stripe pattern. As with any maple though, this top creates an overly bright sound, which is very well tempered by the mahogany body. As noted, the neck is mahogany-made, which, coupled with rosewood fretboard, contributes to the sound with complex highs, and thick and creamy lows for an overall well-rounded sound.

The Fishman® Isys III System Onboard Preamp System is designed to offer maximum control, performance and quality in a small, unobtrusive format. The compact and sophisticated Isys III System offers Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble controls, and a built-in tuner with LED display. The Isys III System also includes a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup for solder-free, plug and play installation, a low battery indicator, low profile control knobs and a unique pivot design for easy access to the battery compartment.

This guitar is unplayed condition and was unboxed for display in an enclosed display case only. By default no case or gigbag is included by Fender. Felicity’s Guitars provide a custom ordered Black Tolex Hardshell Case – included in price at our cost.
