Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A true and highly successful blend of vintage and modern, through and through. On the one hand you've got a slim-ish C neck and no-load tone control; on the other you've got a classic Ash body construction and looks. The pickups are the best example of this heavenly harmony of old and new--raw, wild 50s energy in the bridge and a more shimmery, almost Strat-like thing coming out of that Twisted pickup in the neck. Talk about striking a balance--bullseye!
SP Luthier Notes: Refret
From Fender
From the garage to the club to the stadium, the American Standard Telecaster® is the same great best-selling go-to guitar 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 Vintage-style '50s Telecaster® (bridge) pickups. The latest incarnation of a truly timeless classic, it rings more fully, brightly and crisply than ever.
