Feel The Groove Of 1972!

The FENDER® '72 Telecaster® Deluxe brings back a classic and distinctive solidbody electric guitar design. In the early 1970s, rock was moving into a "heavier" era, and players wanted thicker tone and more sustain than most single-coils could offer. The answer was a Telecaster with humbucking pickups designed by the legendary Seth Lover. This '72 Telecaster Deluxe features those Wide Range pickups, as well as a "C"-shaped neck with a large Strat-style headstock, hardtail Strat® bridge, and cool, period-correct appointments. Get the sound of a classic era of rock with the '72 Telecaster Deluxe!

Amazing guitar, even better with a few minor upgrades

by anonymous from CA
 December 13, 2009
 Music Background: touring band
I'm so very happy with this guitar. It arrived from sweetwater with a perfect action and intonation. It plays like a dream. The sound is very full and warm, and really sounds great when complimented b... read more [+]y a good amp. The neck feels pretty fat, but it's grown on me.

As for cons, there are few and they're really easy to overcome.

The tuners are very touchy. The thing stays in tune VERY well (surprises me every time I play), but it can be difficult to tune in the first place due to the low gear ratio on the "vintage style" tuning machines. Upgrade to a better tuner if it bugs you. Personally, I just got used to being a little more careful when tuning.

When I was researching the guitar, I saw that a lot of people change out the volume pots for 500k pots. The 250k pots the guitar comes with cause the volume control to be more of an on/off switch than a volume control. Anyway, not a necessary upgrade I don't think, but you'll get a lot more tonal options with a better pot.

The gig bag it comes with is terrible. Might as well wrap it in paper. Also the new strings it comes with must be changed immediately.

All in all, great price, great sound, and sweetwater really did a great job getting it to me in such excellent playing condition. close [-]

“Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.”
