Product Description

Fender's American Deluxe Telecaster is the 21st century way to rock the Telecaster. The American Deluxe Tele's compound radius fretboard allows easy string bending anywhere along the neck, and staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability for stunt guitarists who like to bend behind the nut. The N3 Noiseless pickups provide improved Telecaster tones for snappy bell-like chime without the hum; other features include a bound-top body with belly cut, S-1(TM) switching, chromed brass bridge saddles and beveled neck heel. The compound radius fretboard on this version of the Fender American Deluxe Telecaster is made from Rosewood for slightly warmer tone. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (8 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Really Nice, Solid, Sweet sounding Tele"
Sound: Sounds like a Tele...Snappy and responsive...Gritty Feature: Came with a Strap and strap locks to keep your guitar from flying out into the crowd during a monster solo. The volume cleans up the grit with backing her down about a notch or two when you don't want the tele growl for a piece. The s-1 pickup switching is nice but real subtle. Ease of Use: Plays like a Dream! The compound radius fingerboard is amazing! Running a lead is nice with the fretboard radius and 22 med jumbo frets. Quality: This guitar is really put together well. Everything is solid and fit. Road ready and will probably last a lifetime with proper care. Value: Worth every penny! You will not find anything else in this price range built this well or looking this nice. Fenders quality control is on top of things and has fair pricing unlike a lot of the other guys. Manufacturer Support: Don't know haven't had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: I got mine in Olympic Pearl with rosewood and it looks Stunning, pic's don't do it justice. Overall: I really think this guitar could be your number one main axe easy. I guess if you got a pile of money you might find something higher end, but I believe you'd probably be playing a guitar beyond your means just for cosmetics.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Mfatstrat"
Overall: I have owned the Deluxe Tele for about a month now. I went with the rosewood fret board. The guitar sounds and plays fantastic. I,Really like the S-1 switching. You can get almost a humbucker sound and the great single coil you would expect. The finish is beautiful. Pictures don't do the guitar justice. Love this guitar. Play through Blackstar 2x12 60w and a Line 6 HD500. Awesome sound
Style of Music: I play classic rock and blues. Favorite guitar players are Stevie Ray, Hendrix , Page and many more influences.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission.
