Fender American Special Telecaster: improved circuitry

Remarkably, Fender has decided to upgrade the circuitry of their guitars, in this case with the Greasebucket Tone circuit. This innovative circuitry naturally filters out high tones adds bass to deliver a cleaner tone.

Combining the old with the new

The messing bridge saddles, which are present in all classic Fender models, accentuate the time-honoured feel of these guitars. Instead of a bridge saddle for every snare, these bridge saddles are spread out over six snares. It also has a three-layer pickguard in light mint green. The pickup selector consists of the renowned 3-position switch that allows you to activate the bridge, the bridge plus neck, or just the neck pickup. Alder, which is often used for glossy lacquered guitars, is also used for this particular model. Ash is often used for unpainted guitars, because of the wood's beautiful natural grains.
