Fender Custom Telecaster with Flame Maple Top (Rosewood)
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
2 humbuckers. Coil tap. Body binding.

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"

would never have to go look for a guitar again.
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.
Features
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

The Wow Factor
