Get Your Hands on This Truly Distinctive B-Bender Tele!

The Fender American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster takes you from classic twang to over-the-top string-bending effects — all with that unmistakable Tele tone and feel. Loaded with a combination of two American Tele single-coil pickups plus a Texas Special Strat middle pickup, the American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster features special Strat-o-Tele 5-way switching for a range of great tones. But it's what lurks inside this guitar that really kicks it up a notch! A genuine B-Bender mechanism lets you bend that B string to your heart's delight while you play away on the American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster.

If you're a fan of country-tinged bends and steel guitar licks, this Tele is right up your alley. The American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster guitar was inspired by the customized instruments of some of Nashville's top players. This Tele features two American Tele single-coil pickups at the bridge and neck positions, plus aa Texas Special Strat pickup in the middle position. You get 5-way Strat-o-Tele switching to choose your favorite tones easily, on the fly.

Craving authentic Nashville vibe? Then you're in luck! This Tele's onboard Gene Parsons/Meridian Greene-designed B-Bender makes it happen. From its origins as a secret weapon of country and rock guitarists in the late '60s to its status as a session standby for Nashville cats and beyond, the B-Bender adds a unique touch to the Tele. Strap on an American Nashville B-Bender Telecaster and enjoy incredible pedal steel tones by simply pulling down on the neck; activated by the strap peg on the upper horn of the Tele, the B-Bender lets you work its magic without taking your hands off of the guitar.
