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 Fender 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.

Bought the Black version. Beautiful guitar. Came with awesome case and inside case was Fender pouch that included paperwork. Normally when I purchase a guitar on line I need to take it to my tech for a set up and some tweaking. Not the case with this one. Came out of the box with a perfect set up and intonation. I have a American Pro strat with Shawbucker in it so I already knew that I like the sound of the pick ups but wow do they sound great in this guitar. The neck has a wide feel to it and is easy to navigate. Just an awesome guitar. I have made a few purchases with zZounds. Customer service is always good.
