The U.S.-made flagship of the Telecaster lineup and the modern version of a revered American original. As simply elegant as ever, the American Standard Telecaster is an enduring design classic for the guitarist who apprecates and aspires to the beautifully bright, clear tone and style of the Fender guitar that started it all. From garages to nightclubs to stadiums worldwide, this is the real thing - a timeless Telecaster that rings far more fully and vibrant than ever! Ash has been long used by Fender for the majority of its electric guitar bodies. Strong and more dense, ash is used for this select American Standard finish and is notably resonant and sweet sounding, with clearly chiming highs, defined midrange and strong low end.  This American Standard Tele features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile and a smooth satin-finish back. The fretboard features a modern 9.5" radius, with comfortably rolled edges for an instantly "broken in" feel and medium jumbo frets.  For superior intonation, sustain and ease of adjustment, this American Standard guitar features a modern bridge with upgraded features. This string-through-body Tele bridge has bent steel saddles and a brass plate stamped with the Fender logo.  For singing single coil tone and performance, this American Standard Tele features a specially voiced Twisted Tele neck pickup and stinging Custom Shop vintage-style Tele bridge pickup, both from the very best of the best, the Fender Custom Shop.  Staggered tuners present tuning posts of differing heights that increase the break angle of the strings over the nut. On this American Standard guitar, the D, G, B and high E string tuning posts are set lower than the A and low-E strings, creating a greater string angle that improves performance and helps eliminate buzz.  Features:   At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously!
