Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
If you ever wanted the versatility of a strat with the tone of a tele, this '60s Hot Rod tele was built with your name on it! The S-1 switch adds the texas special bridge pickup into positions 3, 4, and 5 allowing for another layer of tonal versatility. With a D-shape neck you'll feel right at home the whole way down the neck, especially combined with the compound radius fretboard. This guitar was built to be a workhorse and we think it's time you got in the saddle.
SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup
From Fender
For discerning guitarists, the Vintage Hot Rod '60s Telecaster is the ideal combination of original-era style and present-day power and performance. Classic and contemporary at the same time, it delivers a potent combination of authentic vintage design straight from the 1960s and hot-rodded modern mods demanded by today's guitarists, such as a compound-radius fingerboard, three pickups and special circuitry. All together, it's a remarkable performer that gives you the best Tele® sound, style and performance of yesterday and today.
