Fender Classic Series '72 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar Black

Fender Classic Series '72 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar Black

In this first-ever reproduction, the Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar duplicates every cosmetic nuance of the original introduced over three decades ago. Crafted with an alder body, one-piece C-shaped maple neck, a Strat headstock, 6-saddle string-thru bridge, dual humbuckers with alnico magnets for unique fat and gritty Tele tone, and 3-way switching. Deluxe Fender gig bag.


  Mike's Comment: Went to Guitar Center to try and amp and was amazed to find "My" Telecaster Deluxe re-issued. Couldn't belive it would sound as good but it did. The dual Humbucker Pick-ups give you a range from twang to clean, with plenty of heft if you want it. Extremely versatile and easy play like my original.
