For most guitars, you just don't see the words "affordable" and "U.S.-made" in the same sentence very often. But Fender has changed all of that with the American Special Telecaster. They call the American Special Series "guitars for the times," and they mean it. The American Special Telecaster really does have everything you're looking for in a Tele—including a price tag that's within your reach. It's a real American-made Tele, all the way. With all that classic Tele vibe, bumped into the 21st century with all kinds of smart modern touches. Now players at all levels can enjoy an American-made Fender-quality Tele at a truly amazing value. The American Special Telecaster blends time-tested Tele design with contemporary features that are sure to satisfy today's modern player. The body of the American Special Telecaster is crafted from alder and features a shimmering gloss urethane finish and a bolt-on neck construction. Contemporary playability and exceptional fretting-hand comfort are provided by the satin-finished Modern "C" maple neck and the modern 9.5"-radius fingerboard with jumbo frets. Whether you play blues, country, rock, and everything in between, a pair of single-coil Texas Special pickups are sure to deliver. Especially great for big SRV-style Texas-blues tone, the Texas Special pickups are over-wound and dish out dynamically scorching output. Featuring alnico 5 magnets, enamel-coated magnet wire, and staggered pole pieces, these pickups serve up tight lows, shimmering highs, and a well-focused midrange with incredible balance from E to e. The control layout consists of a classic 3-way pickup selector switch, a Master Tone control, and a Master Volume control. For modern versatility, the Greasebucket tone circuit allows you to roll off on the highs without adding bass.
