From Our Research Team:

American Vintage '72 Telecaster

The Tele® took a quantum leap in 1972 with the addition of a single supercharged Humbucker™ in the neck position. This axe delivers the Tele twang with the added punch of a neck-position FENDER® "Wide-Range" Humbucker™. This Tele also debuted Fender's proprietary Micro-Tilt™ neck adjustment feature, plus a Bullet® truss rod and silver-tipped, skirted amp knobs. Built to vintage specs and with a sound all its own, you'll love the Fender American Vintage '72 Telecaster® Custom.
