Fender Tele-Bration Vintage Hot Rod 52 Telecaster, Butterscotch

Full Description

On its 1951 introduction, the Telecaster was a revolutionary instrument that would usher in whole new eras of musical innovation and excitement. Sixty years later it has become an archetypal electric guitar with a long and storied history. The rich history of Fender guitars began with the Telecaster, and with the release of this limited edition guitar they're celebrating its 60th anniversary with this special Tele-bration model.

This celebratory Fender stays inside the Telecaster's famously elegant lines whilst offering the finest and most unusual takes on the instrument's past, present and future. This Vintage Hot Rod series model has a Seymour Duncan '59 humbucking neck pickup and an innovative new vintage-style bridge with three brass saddles that allow precise intonation for each individual string.
