Fender American Telecaster + USA Deluxe neck + Bare Knuckle
For sale is my incredible Fender American Telecaster with USA Deluxe neck + Bare Knuckle Flat 50s. This USA telecaster has had some serious upgrades... I upgraded the neck with a maple American Deluxe neck with beautiful abalone dot fret markers. It is a deluxe neck (cost about £350) but with 9.5 radius/abalone dot. The neck is really slick and has quite low action, but has been set up to play really accurately and effortlessly. great for fusion/blues players into Robben Ford. *colour of the neck and guitar is most accurate on last photos – its almost white maple and parchment pick guard) The other great upgrade to this tele is a set of Bare Knuckle Flat 50s pickups (which were around £150), which give a blackguard hot output, reminiscent to Robben Ford's lead telecaster tone – a think 50s tone with lots of low mids and nice high end. There are extremely dynamic and open sounding. I spoke to Tim Mills from Bare Knuckle who recommended these specifically. The last upgrade is Callaham bridge saddles which bring this guitar to life further. I had the American Series telecaster setup and installed by my local luthier/guitar tech, and he loved the guitar. He liked how the articulation and playability was high end like an elete/deluxe/Suhr but had vintage/modern sound to it. The new deluxe guitar neck is spotless – no mark at all on it. the body however has a couple of dimples in the paint and signs of wear in places on the back. Nothing bad at all! It comes with the original Fender case and all case candy (strap/lead/tags etc). Originally the American series Tele cost me £, but with the upgrades (and after selling the replaced parts) it cost me £. As I need to sell this due to an emergency, I'm happy to sell it for £900. Cash on collection from Stratford upon avon. Thanks for looking! Andrew Read More
