Highlights
ALDER OR ASH BODY
Classic Fender tonewoods known for exceptional resonance and clarity, alder delivers balanced tone with beefy mids and robust low-end, while ash provides enhanced punch and brightness with prominent grain patterns, offering versatile tonal options for diverse musical styles.
MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25" RADIUS ROUND-LAMINATED ROSEWOOD OR MAPLE FINGERBOARD AND VINTAGE TALL FRETS
The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.
MID '60S "C"-SHAPED NECK
This classic '60s shape is comfortably rounded and starts off slim at the nut, thickening moderately toward the 12th fret.
VINTAGE-STYLE MID ‘60S PICKUPS
There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of Fender single-coil pickups. These mid ‘60s spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.
VINTAGE-STYLE 3-SADDLE BRIDGE WITH THREADED STEEL SADDLES
Featuring a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three threaded steel saddles for authentic ‘60s Tele® twang.
VINTAGE-STYLE TUNING MACHINES
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
