Fender US Telecaster Natural Ash c/w Rosewood neck
Although this model was released prior to the 2008 upgrade it still contains many of Fender's most recent innovations and features. Firstly the natural Ash wood gives a stunning finish and is gloriously complemented by a Maple neck and Rosewood fret board and chrome tone and volume pots.
The pick up configuration consists of 2 hot single coil pick-ups that use Alnico 3 magnets and these are wired into Fender’s Grease-bucket tone circuitry which is renowned for its Texas and Delta blues tones. It also features a full-blown vintage style ashtray bridge with just three saddles, one for each pair of strings which means that the strings must be intoned in pairs rather than individually.
The pick ups are controlled by chrome plated single tone and separate volume pot along with a 3-way selector switch whilst the bridge, neck pick-up and machine heads are also chrome plated.
