Why We Love This Product!

American Tele, Astonishing Price!

Oh, yeah! You're looking at a genuine U.S.-made Tele that's ready to twang, rock, or play whatever you want. At a heck of a low price! The moment you pick up Fender's American Special Telecaster, you'll know you've made a great choice. This baby's loaded with all the things that make the Tele such a legend, from the fast maple neck to the single-cutaway alder body to the pair of Texas Special pickups. Oh, and the vintage-style 3-saddle bridge gives an added touch of classic vibe to this destined-to-be-a-classic axe!

You know and love this icon of a solidbody electric guitar; from Nashville to New York City to New Orleans to Nor Cal (and everywhere in-between), axe-slingers all over the place swear by the Tele. Why? Start with the history: over a half-century after the first Telecaster flew out of Fullerton, California, this solidbody retains essentially the same design. That's doing it right the first time! The classic pickup arrangement, easy switching, comfortable neck shape, and time-tested hardware combine to give you exactly what you want out of an electric guitar, no matter what kind of music you play.

Springsteen plays one. So does Tom Petty. And Andy Summers from the Police. Want to talk twang? Look no further than the Teles strapped to Merle Haggard or the legendary James Burton. Keith Richards brought dozens of rock's most memorable licks to life on a Tele, and Joe Strummer used his Telecaster to blend punk's snarl with smart songcraft. Don't forget Roy Buchanan and Albert Collins; their Teles helped to define electric blues. And, who can forget all those amazing R&B records Steve Cropper put his Telecaster magic on? We're just scratching the surface here, folks... you simply can't go wrong when you strap on a Tele!
