The U.S.-made Limited Edition American Standard Telecaster Channel-Bound presents a special version of the American Standard Telecaster featuring Fender’s innovative channel-bound fretboard. Here's the workhorse American Standard Telecaster in a new limited edition model featuring Fender's innovative channel-bound compound-radius fretboard and the time-honored look of a Dakota Red finish. The fretboard is inlaid into the neck in a design with an elegant appearance and a distinctive fretting-hand feel in which both edges are comfortably rounded, with no side seam between neck and fretboard. Further, the fretboard's 9.5"-14" compound radius graduates smoothly from a more rounded profile at the nut (great for chording) to a more flattened profile near the body (great for soloing).  Made from one of the greatest tonewoods long used by Fender for most all of their electric guitar bodies, Alder is noted for bright, balanced and resonant tone with pronounced upper midrange, excellent sustain and sharp attack.  For superior intonation, sustain and ease of adjustment, this American Standard guitar features a modern bridge with upgraded features. This string through body Telecaster 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 Broadcaster bridge pickup, both from the very best of the best.  As simply elegant as ever, the American Standard Telecaster is an enduring design classic for the guitarist who appreciates 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 more fully and brilliantly than ever.  Features: Maple neck with "C" profile Channel-bound compound-radius Rosewood fretboard (9.5"-14") with 21 medium jumbo frets Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele single-coil neck pickup Fender Custom Shop single-coil Broadcaster bridge pickup Three-way pickup switch "No-load" tone control (bypasses all tone control circuitry when turned all the way up) American Standard string-through-body Telecaster bridge Hardshell case included This item is considered B-Stock.  B-Stock means it is an open box or display product - almost A stock.
