Fender's American Vintage '58 Tele!

There were other changes as well - and the American Vintage '58 Tele, nails 'em all. Lightweight ash body, staggered bridge pickup pole magnets, solid steel barrel bridge saddles, single-ply white pickguard, flat-top chrome knobs - you get it all, along with buttery playability and classic twang. If '50s Teles are your thing, Sweetwater's got your axe: Fender's American Vintage '58 Telecaster.
