Description
Our Take:
The American Elite Telecaster is Fender's timeless workhorse reinvented for the modern player. Two 4th generation Noiseless single-coil Telecaster pickups, S-1 switching, and a compound-radius neck all combine to give the always familiar Tele a reimagined voice and feel, while classic Tele aesthetics retain the vibe that the original models carried with them. Shown here in Champagne.
Fender's Take:
There is a passion within players at every level that fuels a never-ending pursuit of creativity and expression. The American Elite Series was born out of that same passion.
