Fender American Vintage 52 Telecaster BTB 1995

$1,659.00

Description

Since the series was launched in 1982, the "American Vintage" series has continually captivated players worldwide as a centerpiece model of Fender. It gained popularity as the top model in the regular lineup but has since been discontinued, with its specifications and concept carried forward to the "American Original" line.

This time, we have received the "52 Telecaster BTB," which faithfully reproduces the 1952 specifications down to the finest details. The color is Butterscotch Blonde, manufactured in December 1995, with a weight of 3.58kg.

The combination of an ash body and a thick U-grip one-piece maple neck with generous rounded edges is just like an original 1952 instrument. It has been carefully crafted to closely match the authentic specifications. The brass bridge saddle, unified minus-screw hardware, and bright butterscotch blonde finish are some of the reasons for its popularity.

This guitar retains the vintage wiring known as preset tone, rather than the front-mix-rear wiring configuration that is standard in recent models.
Front Position: Preset Sound
Center Position: Front Pickup
Rear Position: Rear Pickup

It features authentic looks and high-quality wood with a deeper color not found in current production models. The appropriately aged dark maple neck characteristic of the 1990s also offers excellent playability. True to its name, it delivers a dry, vintage-like sound that truly responds to what players are seeking. While the frets are worn, the guitar is currently playable as-is, and if you were to refret it in the future and change the selector to a standard 3-way configuration, it would become a truly user-friendly guitar. With this instrument in your collection, you'll have a well-crafted Telecaster that will serve you faithfully for years to come.
