description

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. This guitar is as close to vintage as you can get! The American Vintage '52 Tele retains every detail of the vintage original. Its premium ash body, one-piece U-shaped maple neck with 7.25"-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.

This guitar is in brand new and unplayed condition, and you can be the first person to play her! Original Fender Select Vintage Tweed Hardshell Case is included along with a wealth of vintage–repro case candies!
