From Our Research Team:

Tailor-made Tele

Everyone knows the Fender Custom Deluxe Telecaster is an incredible Tele. But any true Tele fan will always have a wish list of tweaks, modifications, and subtle adjustments to turn an incredible Tele into the total Tele package. Here, the guitar-loving crew at Sweetwater got together with the Fender Custom Shop with our own wish list of sorts. With input from you, our customers, and all of the toneheads here, we went ahead and put a twist on the Fender Custom Deluxe Telecaster to create our very own version, the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special. We know you'll love it as much as we do.

So, what makes the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special so special? It's the extra attention to detail here. All the woods were hand selected for beauty, grain, and the traits of tonal perfection. We upped the neck from "A" flame maple to "AA" maple, for an even more amazing appearance. And we also went ahead and gave the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special a bound top and a set of locking tuners, versus the regular Deluxe's regular binding-free top and staggered tuner set. And because we're totally tweaky, we went ahead and gave the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special a parchment 3-ply pickguard for a slightly aged look that we love.

But any true Tele fan will tell you there's magic in the pickup configuration. So, we didn't mess with the single-coil configuration that delivers that true Tele twang. However, we did reverse the control plate and give it a 4-position blade switch instead of the regular Custom Deluxe Telecaster's 3-position system, to give you even more tonal options. This Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special's Position 1 is Bridge, Position 2 is Bridge and Neck (in parallel), Position 3 is Neck, and Position 4 is Neck and Bridge (in series).

All in all, the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special is a finely tuned piece of Fender Custom Shop workmanship that's got the best-of-the-best Tele appointments, with a special twist for the true Tele lover. And, of course, as with all Fender Custom Teles, the Fender Bound Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special was painstakingly crafted by one of Fender's finest builders right here in the USA.

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
