Tone Machine

I purchased this guitar in January of 2012. I've played Telecasters for many years and I must say this is the best sounding,best playing Telecaster yet. I love the N3 quite pickups, they have great bite when you need it and wonderful sustain. The S1 switching is awesome giving you that humbucker sound in spades. Of course the playability is perfect. Mine came from Sweetwater set up. I did tweak it a little and it's just right now. The fit and finish is excellent with the grain and color being very beautiful. This will be one of those guitars I'll keep for my personal collection and of course use it for live shows and with the N3 pickups perfect for recording. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for that Tele single coil bite and almost any kind of music you want to play, be it country, rock and even jazz. I personally like the old hard shell cases but this case is pretty cool as well.I always hesitate buying a guitar on line but this guitar is proof positive you can buy from these folks with confidence. The service from Sweetwater has been great. Thanks Jeff Law!!

a revelation to play

Truly, this Tele has it all tone wise. All the classic snap and sparkle is there along with warm glassy crunch to searing solo sounds. The look and feel are just as addictive as the inspiring tones. Really, I can't say enough about this magical axe. I run it into a Mesa Rectoverb 50 and the live tones are insanely good, goosebump inducing. HIGHLY recommended!

Fender American Deluxe Ash Tele

I have wanted a Fender Tele for years, but had concerns about the noise interference that everyone talks about. Then I saw where after much experimentation with different pickups Fender came up with the "noiseless N3" pickups. Supposedly, this fixed the noise problem while keeping the wonderful old Tele sounds that rang out from the picks of great rock and roll players. I got mine in and literally cannot lay it down. It does all that it was represented to do. I have found no faults with it, and I love it. AND, Sweetwater is the place to buy. Good, fair price, and the best customer service I have seen anywhere.
