Sound Pure's Take

This is a fantastic guitar for the money! This guitar plays great with a nice loose and spanky feel. It's always nice when a guitar surprises you and turns out to be truly comfortable and lively as soon as you pick it up. A great second guitar or travel/backup ax for all you pickers and twangers out there. 

From Fender

The American Special Telecaster puts U.S-made Fender quality into the hands of players at any level. For the guitarist who wants a combination of timeless Fender style and contemporary features, this guitar delivers traditional Tele® design with some extra elements for modern tone and performance, including dual Texas Special™ pickups and special circuitry, modern neck profile and fingerboard radius, and more. Great sounding, great looking and feeling, and made in the United States.
