Its double-bound alder body delivers classic resonance and snap, paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard for a warm, balanced response with unmistakable Fender clarity and bite.

A vintage-style three-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles enhances classic Tele twang and sustain, while vintage-style tuning machines maintain authentic aesthetics with reliable tuning stability.
