Fender American Special Telecaster

The Fender American Special Telecaster was launched at the winter NAMM show in 2010. The American Special series are constructed in the U.S. and are designed to be more affordable to the everyday musicians than some of Fender’s more top-of-the-line U.S.-made guitars. The American Special Telecaster features include an alder body with gloss urethane finish, 9.5”-radius maple neck, jumbo frets, Texas Special pickups, and vintage-style three-brass-saddle strings-through-body Telecaster bridge. Fender has also included the Greasebucket tone circuit that’s design to roll off tone without adding bass to the signal. Other Fender guitars included in the American Special series include the American Special Stratocaster and the American Special Stratocaster HSS.
