Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. The truss rod and bridge were adjusted. The fret ends were smoothed and polished. No further work was required.

The Fender American Special Telecaster in Vintage Blonde is a confident, workhorse take on a timeless design, built to feel familiar yet unmistakably alive. Its alder body delivers balanced resonance and punch, paired with a smooth modern “C” maple neck that plays effortlessly across all 22 jumbo frets. Custom Shop Texas Special pickups bring bold twang, rich mids, and gritty edge, while the Greasebucket tone circuit keeps highs clear without muddying the lows. Finished in gloss urethane with classic brass saddles, this USA-made Telecaster is a reliable, great-sounding investment—ready for stage, studio, and years of inspired playing.
