Product information

General

There are many different Fender Telecasters on the market, but if you're looking for the most affordable American-made version, the popular American Special series is for you. This Telecaster has a 3-Tone Sunburst finish and a rosewood fretboard. It also has modern C neck profile, Texas special pickups and a Greasebucket circuit.

Construction

An alder body and a maple neck have been a winning combination on Telecasters for years. This model has a rosewood fretboard too which tempers the trebles slightly and adds extra warmth to the overall sound. The classic Telecaster bridge with three brass saddles is also on board and plays its part in the characteristic Tele twang.

Greasebucket upgrade

This model also features the Greasebucket circuit which ensures that the bass doesn't overpower the rest of the sound when the trebles are turned down using the tone control. That prevents the sound from becoming muddied which can sometimes happen with standard tone controls.
