Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All frets were replaced with spec-correct fretwire, then dressed and polished.

The Fender Tele Deluxe Foto Flame is a distinctive '90s-era Fender that blends classic Telecaster character with Strat-inspired versatility and comfort. Its alder body features Strat-style contours for a more ergonomic playing experience, while the combination of two vintage-style Strat pickups and a vintage-style Tele bridge pickup delivers an impressive range of tones, from glassy cleans to classic Tele twang. The 5-way switching expands the guitar's tonal palette beyond that of a traditional Telecaster, making it a flexible choice for a wide variety of musical styles. Finished with a rosewood fingerboard and white pearloid pickguard, this unique model captures the creative spirit of Fender's Japanese-made instruments from the 1990s. Comfortable, versatile, and full of character, the Tele Deluxe Foto Flame offers a fresh take on two iconic Fender designs.
