Ash body Strong, snappy responsive tone
Gloss lacquer finish Protects well, promotes aging, preserves tonality

Vintage-style single-coil Tele bridge pickup Authentic Telecaster twang tone

Motion meets balance with a touch of elegance with Fender Limited Edition Parallel Universe Meteora, a sleek new limited-edition body shape that carries on the Fender tradition of arresting aesthetic design. The sound is as propulsive as its visually stimulating lines -- it wants to roar on stage, thanks to the two biting Custom Shop Tele pickups. With its brand-new offset body shape, The Meteora has guts and grace and is distinctively Fender.

Powered by a Custom Shop vintage-style Tele bridge pickup and a Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup, this guitar can kick out anything you need from sparkling cleans to growling grit. The elegant 25.5"-scale maple neck sports a "Mid-'60s C"-shaped Jazzmaster profile, along with a 9.5"-radius fingerboard for enhanced playability, regal block inlays, 22 narrow-tall frets and a bone nut. An ash body, lacquer finish, custom black single-ply pickguard, American Professional Tele bridge with compensated brass saddles, chrome dome knobs and vintage "spaghetti" logo and "Limited Edition" micro-tilt neck plate complete the package with elegantly functional style.

A brave design with one foot in the past and eyes to the future, The Meteora is the newest way to explore your creative limits. Includes a hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

great twist on the telecaster sound. Bone nut is a great upgrade. For 2 grand Fender should have finished the head stock to match the butterscotch blonde body! Still a very nice guitar!
