In the late '60s and early '70s, guitarists wanted hum-free tone based on the sound of an amp about to blow up. You asked -- so we listened and created the Telecaster Deluxe in 1973.

Today's version, the American Professional Telecaster Deluxe ShawBucker, brings modern, player-oriented features to the stage and studio, and can still make an amp sizzle without breaking a sweat. With its flexible sound and vintage-voiced pickups, the Telecaster Deluxe adds a touch of girth to the traditional Telecaster twang and bite. From pop and punk to the most brutal modern metal, the Telecaster Deluxe has powered countless recordings and infinite stages, creating the music we love.The pair of warm, rich-sounding ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position, producing powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA.

Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern "Deep C"-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords.The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Telecaster Deluxe ShawBucker is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.

This guitar kicks butt right out of the case. Fender did a great job with this new tele. The neck is an addictive one to play.. The new humbuckers are awesome sounding too. I can get a les Paul tone and have that tele feel at the same time. It's quite remarkable..turn the volume down a little and "bam". Right back to the tele twang.. I absolutely love this guitar. The new cases are very nice and roomy,built with quality.. Great job on this ax fender!
