A Tele for the Modern Player. Fender's American Elite Telecaster solidbody electric guitar is a great instrument for pickers who love the classic platform but need a wider palette of tones. You'll get the familiar twang and cut Teles are known for, but without the 60-cycle hum, thanks to a pair of fourth-generation Fender Noiseless single-coil pickups. An S-1 switch adds new pickup voicings to the American Elite Tele. The 9.5"-14" compound fretboard radius ensures comfort while chording, and it flattens out up high for unimpeded string bending and vibrato. And the necks’ rolled fretboard edges feel like a well-worn guitar as soon as you open the case. An addition you're sure to appreciate is the belly and arm comfort contours on the body of the American Elite Telecaster. 


This guitar came to us in brand new and unplayed condition in original sealed Fender packaging forwarded on to us by another retailer as part of a large (dozen+) guitar consignment. There is a factory defect in the paint on the inside edge of the waist contour carve, that is hidden -in large part- behind the reflection of the high-gloss contoured edge. As such we are listing this guitar as is; brand new with a factory blemish, and offering her at less than our cost. Huge savings opportunity!


The guitar includes her original ABS Elite Molded Case with TSA locks. This guitar looks and feels amazing, and you can be the first person to play it!
