Fender

The Fender ‘52 reissue Telecaster pays homage to Fender's original classic that revolutionized the electric guitar. Its efficiency of form and function has made the Telecaster one of the most played and heard instruments in musical history.

All original specs on the Fender 52 US Vintage Telecaster are detailed including neck shape, fingerboard radius, hardware, pickups and electronics.

The '52 Telecaster, '57 Stratocaster and '62 Stratocaster are the cornerstones of Fender's electric guitar range. The introduction of the new American Vintage Series marks the return to original specs with smooth, rounded body radii, distinctive neck shapes, aged plastic parts, and pickups that replicate all the physical and tonal aspects of the originals.

My New Favorite Guitar!!!!!!
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Excellent quality instrument
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
It's hard to hurt a Telecaster but this thing is always in tune and ready to go.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Very good quality and stays in tune! Got that great vintage Fender sound!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
I have a Strat also but this guitar just "fits" me. The neck and body are well balanced and all of the controls are out of the way for playing but right where you want them.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Vintage pick-ups are bright to warm tones. These are wired as the original '52 models were.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Perfect! No flaws anywhere.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Fast and very smooth. NO buzzing.
