ALL AT A CRAZY GOOD PRICE!Fender's American Special Telecaster solidbody electric guitar gives you a US-made Tele at a price that's nearly unheard of. An alder body offers a wide frequency response and plenty of snap for classic Tele tone. Fender's easy-playing maple neck and rwood fingerboard combo sports jumbo frets for maximum string control. And a duo of Texas Special single-coils dishes out distinctive Tele twang with a little added muscle. Fender American Special Telecaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:American-made quality at an unbeatable priceCut through the mixGreasebucket tone control rolls off highs without adding bassAmerican-made quality at an unbeatable price: Fender's American Special Series exists to do one thing: give you access to genuine US-made Fenders at unbeatable prices. The American Special Telecaster gives you a great selection of cool Tele features, including a supremely playable mpl neck, rwood fingerboard, and jumbo frets, two Texas Special single-coils, and Fender's innovative Greasebucket tone control. All in all, it's quite a potent music-delivery system. And it's made right here in the USA, in Fender's state-of-the-art Corona, California, factory.Cut through the mix: You're sure to cut through the mix, thanks to a duo of Fender's Texas Special single-coils. These pickups give you classic tones that have been with us since the dawn of the Tele. But these pickups have a little something extra that sets the American Special Tele apart from previous Tele incarnations: Fender's way-cool Greasebucket tone circuit! If you're looking for an American-made Tele with unbeatable bang for the buck, then you need the American Special Telecaster.Greasebucket tone control rolls off highs without affecting volume: Fender has fitted the American Special Telecaster with their proprietary Greasebucket tone control. With this system you're able to take the bite off of single-coils or get the "Woman Tone" without making your sound too muddy. The Greasebucket is designed to evenly rolls off highs without adding bass or affecting your volume. It gives you explicit control over your tone onstage without your having to compensate for a less-than-ideal sound.
