Primo Flame Top Tele!

If you're a Tele® fan, Fender's Select Telecaster® guitar will blow you away. With choice tonewoods and high-end appointments throughout, the Select Tele sports a chambered ash body capped with a luscious flame maple top, and wears a tone-friendly lacquer finish.

If that's not enough, this instrument is beautifully balanced and lightweight. If you're ready for a truly special Tele®, we've got yours: Fender's Select Telecaster®.



Fender Select Telecaster at a Glance:
  • Fender's Select Series
  • Gorgeous, great-sounding gloss lacquer finish
  • Shred and chord with equal ease

Fender's Select Series
The FENDER® Select Telecaster is a member of Fender's new Select Series. Built in the USA (where else?), this series one-ups the American Deluxe Series with choice tonewoods, compound-radius fingerboards, beautifully figured tops, gorgeous finishes, and premium appointments throughout.

Gorgeous, great-sounding gloss lacquer finish
The Fender Select Telecaster wears a gorgeous gloss lacquer finish. lacquer finishes - standard back in the '60s and '70s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." lacquer finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities.

Shred and chord with equal ease
The Fender Select Telecaster sports a compound-radius flame maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 9.5" radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 14" radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. The best of both worlds.

Fender Select Telecaster Features:
  • Chambered ash body with flame maple top, gloss lacquer finish
  • Birdseye Maple neck and compound-radius fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets
  • Fender Select Tele single-coil pickups
  • Deluxe staggered cast/sealed locking tuning machines
  • American Tele bridge with New American Standard bent steel saddles and stamped brass plate
  • Fender Deluxe Hardshell Case included

You'll love the Fender Select Telecaster!

It's taken Fender so long to build an instrument of this quality in the normal price range of a standard production version guitar; why?
Add $500.00 or so to the price of a Strat or Tele for su... read more [+]perior wood and I'll gladly pay it but, I'll never spend $5,000.00 or more for a custom shop version just to get a flamed or birds eye neck.
it's with every penny to own this guitar, very precise build quality, and gorgeous wood. I just hope Fender will continue in this vein with more to come. close [-]

Tele worth owning

This guitar is everything that Fender says it is. The only reason I gave it a 4.5 was a slight paint blemish on the body binding. I really love the feel of this guitar and it has a great neck that is ... read more [+]easy to play. Nice pickups that give me the Tele single coil sounds that I want. This guitar has a permanent place in my guitar family! Finally, the Sweetwater crew as always made it as enjoyable as possible to purchase this guitar so thanks to you all. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
