Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Electric Guitar with Case

The Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Electric Guitar is a top-of-the-line American-made instrument for the player seeking an alder body with more modern appointments.
This guitar has a modern C-shaped maple neck with a satin polyurethane finish, and is available with a maple or rosewood fingerboard featuring abalone inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. Other features include a pair of Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Tele pickups, a modern chrome stainless steel Tele bridge with chrome-plated solid brass saddles, and the S-1 switching system.

The S-1 switching system provides a near-endless array of pickup options at your fingertips!

Now standard equipment in many of the American Deluxe series and American series instruments, Fender's groundbreaking S-1 switching system allows players to switch pickup configurations in an instant. The switch is visually undetectable, but tonally it turns your instrument into the most versatile axe on the planet! Located in the crown of the master volume knob, one push of the switch will place your pickups in an assemblage of parallel, series and pickup-combining configurations. You can have the best of all worlds!

Subject:Absolutely Incredible
Quality: The construction and attention to detail on every aspect of this guitar is incredible.
Reliability: I will be able to tell you in the future, but I gig out a minimum of 3 days per week and my Strat has held up for over 8 yrs. I expect no less out of this Tele
Overall: One incredible piece of craftsmanship. Not to mention that it comes with a hardshell case, Finish polish and rag, a new Fender guitar cable, leather strap, and strap locks.
Playability and Feel: The neck makes it very easy to play and since it comes with .09's bending notes is extremely easy. The neck is smooth as silk.
Tone: With the S-1 switching system the tonal options for the Tele just increased 2 fold. The tone is completely awesome. I can get anything from nice classic rock sounds to chickin' pickin' heaven tones.
Finish: The finish was immaculate. Here is one of the areas that Fender really outdid themselves. I bought the classic sunburst with the maple neck.
Action: The action was set up perfectly. No string buzz and the frets were dressed very well.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Subject:Incredible
Quality: Very well made. The finish, the fret work, the nut, the action, are all first class!
Reliability: As it is built so well I can only guess that it will prove very reliable. I've only owned it for 3 weeks but it is an American made Fender, so.....
Overall: This guitar looks stunning. I bought the cherry burst with a maple neck. The action and intonation were perfect. With the binding around the body and the abalone position markers it looks like no other Fender product. I have been plying for over 25 years and this is one of the best I've ever owned. I own 2 Strats, a Brian Moore, and top of the line Taylor, Takamine, and Breedlove acoustic/electrics. I do not buy junk!
Playability and Feel: It almost plays itself. The tone is fantastic and the possibilities nearly endless due to the S-1 switching. The "C" shaped neck fits well and feels nice.
Tone: Again the tone this axe produces is second to none and very, very versatile. I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and clean or dirty, I get beautiful tone. The sustain I get is phenomenal, I can hold a note all day.
Finish: Beautiful (only 1 word is necessary)
Action: Sweet
Skill Level: Semi-Pro
