Product Description

Fender's 2003 Special Edition Custom Tele FMT's are almost as fun to look at as they are to play! Built with a Mahogany body and a Flame Maple top, plus a set Mahogany neck, this is a gorgeous double-humbucker (with coil tap!) Telecaster. And it's got the good to back it up, too. The Rosewood fingerboard has a flatter, 15.75 in. radius, and 22 jumbo frets, which make it easier to play fast lead lines; and the bridge is a 6-saddle, strings-thru-body hardtail. Other features include body binding, oversized inlays, and a matching painted headstock.

"Wood with strings, but no ordinary guitar. Versatile, with a punch in lead sounds and an ability to create harmonic rhytmic cho"

Sound: Incredible versatilty. From being a rhythm guitar both being able to reach soft rhythmic harmonies and sharp chords to being a killer lead instrument with those great bridge pickups. Feature: double humbuckerrs say it all, that and the sustain which comes from the one piece guitar mahogany finish. Quality: made in korea, but otherwise have no complaints Value: for the price i paid, im pretty sure i would've wasted money buying anything more expensive, even the tones of a real gibson dont match. Manufacturer Support: fenders website dont even mention that this guitar exists. how could they , it is after all the best guitar you could buy The Wow Factor: Didnt grab me at first but the sound quality just got the bank book out. Overall: would never have to go look for a guitar again.

Style of Music: Rock, classical, jazz

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Sweet & Dandy"

Sound: The humbuckers give a warm to raw range good for jazz, blues, & rock. Feature: The coil tap is a superb feature. The model I bought had Seymor Duncan pickups on board, and they sound excellent. Can't speak for the Fender made ones since mine was the only model in the store & it was love at first touch and sound. Quality: In general, its very well made. The finish and workmanship are good. It's a road-worthy instrument. Value: Excellent value for the money. I also own an American Standard strat, wich cost a good deal more even 7 years ago when I bought it. I'd definitely buy this one again even over a higher priced Fender. Price isn't everything about a good guitar. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with Fender about this instrument. Overall: I'll be hanging onto this one. It's a versitile instrument, but especially well-suited to the blues and classic rock. I recommend it to anyone looking for a quality moderately priced electric.

Style of Music: Blues, classical rock, alt. country
