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. You get Fender's premium Select Tele single-coil pickups, a juicy compound-radius fingerboard, deluxe tuners, gold hardware, and a sustain-enhancing stamped brass bridge plate. 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 Carved Maple Top 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
  • Gold hardware; deluxe staggered cast/sealed 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!

This is one exceptional Telecaster!

by Russ Shirley from Florida, USA

Music Background: Pro Guitarist
This is my third Tele and definitely the best. The Chambered body really makes this guitar light and responsive, really nothing like my others. The neck setup is exceptional and the overall fit and fi... read more [+]nish makes this one heck of a collectors piece. Too bad I'll probably wear down the frets prematurely on this one.

Personally, I'm betting this model will gracefully age and increase in value exponentially. I felt completely at ease and safe ordering this with my rep - Jason Koons at Sweetwater. I must give him credit for going the extra mile or two to make it happen. Always a pleasure doing business with you Jason. Many thanks. close [-]
