2018 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster Butterscotch, Near-Mint w/ USA Pickups & Hangtags, Japan MIJ
2018 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster Butterscotch, Near-Mint w/ USA Pickups & Hangtags, Japan MIJ
Forward-thinking in its design and player-friendly features, this Telecaster has a lightweight ash body, '50s U-shaped neck profile carve, USA-made Fender Pure Vintage '58 Tele pickups, USA-spec CTS pots, four-way series/parallel switching, brass saddles, a bone nut, taller fretwire, locking Kluson-style tuners, and a silky smooth satin neck profile finish.
The Pure Vintage '58 Fender pickups translate the guitar's ample acoustic properties into a vital palette of traditional Tele tones. With alnico V magnets, black fiber bobbins, a copper baseplate on the bridge pickup, and push-back cloth-covered leads, the pickups are extremely faithful to vintage spec. There's ample chewy twang and sparkle on tap in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like neck pickup and a very welcome 4th position on the blade switch, engaging both pickups in series for a particularly big and bold sound. This Tele weighs 7lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
