Manufacturer's 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.We pay homage to our own with the American Vintage ’52 Telecaster. 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. A vintage six-saddle bridge and a modern wiring update kit are included.
