Fender FSR American Telecaster Rustic Ash Electric Guitar (with Case), Maple Fingerboard, Butterscotch Blonde
Fender FSR American Telecaster Rustic Ash Electric Guitar (with Case), Maple Fingerboard, Butterscotch Blonde
With a rich, rust-colored aluminum pickguard setting off the ash body's natural wood grain, this American Tele has a rustic look to match its twangy sound.

The Fender American Telecaster Rustic Ash introduces a visually striking style for the guitar that started it all. It features a never-before-seen brown anodized aluminum pickguard, which accentuates the attractive wood grain visible through the ash body's elegantly faded satin lacquer finish. Together, these create a complete aesthetic in more than six decades of Telecaster design.

Other premium features include a comfortable body contour, tinted maple neck with "modern C" profile and satin urethane back finish, 9.5"-radius maple (Butterscotch Blonde model) fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, two Texas Tele (bridge and neck) pickups with three-way switching, knurled flat-top control knobs (master volume and "no load" tone control), and American Standard strings-through-body bridge with bent steel saddles and stamped brass plate.

This special run is a beautiful Telecaster, it looks great, both old school and modern at the same time, the neck is perfect, fast, easy to play. I had my doubts about the contoured body at first, but it is actual more comfortable and gives me a better playing position. The Strat style bridge saddles are noisy, but the rattle doesn't seem to translate to the pickup, so not a problem. The build quality is excellent, the fretboard is well finished the neck joint well seated the controls clean and tight. The Texas Twisted Tele pickups are different from standard Tele pickups, but have enough twang to give the Tele sound, but enough brightness to cross-over into Strat territory in a good way. All round excellent guitar.
