SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress and Setup

From Fender

The Fender Select Telecaster elevates our very first legendary guitar model to the epitome of elegance and formidable sonic substance, with a stunning Violin Burst gloss-lacquer finish and natural binding on a resonant honeycomb-chambered ash body with a solid flame maple top. Its birds-eye maple neck is topped by a smooth compound-radius bird's-eye maple fingerboard, and pure tone comes from Fender Select Telecaster pickups with a no-load tone control that delivers the uncolored sound of the bridge pickup when dimed. Other premium features include knurled chrome control knobs, American Telecaster bridge, deluxe staggered locking tuners, nickel-chrome or gold hardware, and much more.
