Rustic Looks with Hot-rod Tone!

Fender's American Telecaster Rustic Ash is a good-looking, great-playing solidbody electric guitar with a back-home vibe you can't help but love. Made from select ash whose singular styling is clearly visible through a coating of aged transparent satin urethane, the American Telecaster Rustic Ash delivers all of the sparkle and bite you'd expect from a Tele. Moreover, a duo of Texas Special single-coil pickups hit your amplifier with the sound of pure southern rock and blues. Top it off with some very cool and unique hardware, and you just won't find another Tele like the Fender American Telecaster Rustic Ash.

Fender American Telecaster Rustic Ash Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • The sound of Texas blues and Southern rock
  • Hand-selected ash for astonishing looks and tone
  • Decked out with premium hardware
The sound of Texas blues and Southern rock

The Fender American Telecaster Rustic Ash brings you the sound that redefined the Texas blues sound. These Texas Special pickups are nothing less than overwound, calibrated, vintage style Tele pickups that deliver plenty of midrange chirp, crystal highs and the tight bass you want. Alnico 5 magnets and enamel coated magnet wire give you increased output and low noise performance.

Hand-selected ash for astonishing looks and tone

Ash and alder have been staple tonewoods as long as Fender has been around, but the ash Fender used for the American Telecaster Rustic Ash will knock your socks off. This hand-selected body provides the natural definition, clarity, and punch you expect along with beautiful figuring. Finished in transparent satin lacquer, The American Telecaster Rustic Ash provides you with a stunning balance of good looks, great sound, and a simple elegance.

Decked out with premium hardware

Here's a combination of exceptional hardware you don't see all the time. From its knurled flat-top control knobs to its never-before-seen brown anodized aluminum pickguard, the American Telecaster Rustic Ash looks like no other Tele out there. But this hardware runs more than skin deep. An American Standard strings-through bridge with six bent steel saddles and a stamped brass plate further enhance the this Tele's twang.
