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!
