***B-Stock Info:***
This guitar is brand new and comes with a full warranty but has a little 3mm chip in the nitro finish. Heavily reduced to compensate and unable to be ordered again.
The ultimate blue-collar guitar, the Telecaster launched a musical revolution when we released it. Quickly adopted by working guitarists who were enamored with its trend-setting sound, feel and unique style, the Telecaster laid the foundation for modern country, blues and even heavy metal (in Jimmy Pages hands). The American Original 50s Telecaster has all of the authentic Fender touches that made the Telecaster a star of the studio and stage, adding modern feel and pickup switching to this classic guitar.

LACQUER FINISH
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.
THICK U NECK SHAPE
This Telecaster features a U-shaped neck profile for the substantial fret-hand feel typical of instruments from our original decade.
VINTAGE-ACCURATE BODY AND NECK RADII
Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.
VINTAGE-CORRECT HARDWARE
From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original.
FINGERBOARD & FRETS
This 9.5-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25 radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.
