Classic Tele look and tone! The American Deluxe Telecaster solidbody electric guitar sports a compound-radius fretboard that's perfect for both rhythm and lead roles, plus a contoured heel that opens up those upper frets. Its lightweight alder body is comfortable - even after you've been playing for hours. This American Deluxe Telecaster also features staggered locking tuners for tuning stability you'll appreciate. A duo of N3 noiseless pickups gives you those Telecaster tones you love - bell-like and chimey, the way you want 'em - but without noisy hum.

N3 Noiseless pickups give you classic Tele tone
Fender's N3 Noiseless Tele pickups give the American Deluxe Telecaster guitar the classic spank and twang of traditional single-coil pickups without the dreaded 60-cycle hum. Built with a stacked set of Alnico V magnets, N3 Noiseless pickups provide you with the same level of noise cancelation you'd expect out of humbuckers. But thanks to Fender's cutting-edge design, N3 Noiseless pickups also hit your amplifier with the classic Tele warmth most stacked dual-coil pickups are missing.
S-1 switch for more sonic options
The Fender American Deluxe Telecaster packs a wide range of tone thanks to its S-1 switch. In the middle pickup position, this allows you to switch between series and parallel pickup wirings. Normally Teles are wired in parallel, but the series setting gives you a fatter, rounder tone that's like a humbucker with the added bite of a single coil pickup.
No-load tone control lets you get aggressive with your amplifier
The American Deluxe Telecaster is incredibly responsive to its tone control, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your tone. But if you turn the no-load tone controller all the way up to 10, the tone circuit is actually removed completely from the signal path. You'll hit your amplifier with a hotter output and brighter tone than you'd get with normal tone circuits when you plug in with the American Deluxe Telecaster.
