Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

An absolute players' guitar. The belly cut on the back of this guitar makes it very comfortable to sit or stand to play, and the hand rubbed oil finish on the neck gives it that already-broken-in feel that we all love, and makes for easy, quick playing up and down the range of this guitar. The Fender Custom Shop pickups make for a truly versatile palette of tones. Thick, almost strat-like, sounds leap out of the Twisted Tele neck pickup, and classic Tele twang is on tap in the Broadcaster bridge pickup. In the middle position, you get an even tone, suitable for all sorts of playing situations. And, oh boy, that special Dakota Red finish just looks fantastic!

From Fender

From the garage to the club to the stadium, the American Standard Telecaster® guitar is the same great best-selling go-to model it always has been, and now it's upgraded with a comfortable new body contour and classic-sounding Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele® (neck) and Broadcaster (bridge) pickups. The latest incarnation of a truly timeless classic, it rings more fully, brightly and crisply than ever.
