Description
From its original release, the Telecaster rapidly became a favorite of country, blues and early rock and roll players. It's even made a space in heavy metal and jazz, thanks to the incredible versatility of it's pared-down-to-the-basics design. The American Original '50s Telecaster captures all that early Fender vibe with period correct hardware and pickups, but adds modern switching and neck radius for an ideal "old-meets-new" sound and playability. Includes hardshell case.
