Tone, tradition and innovation. Fender’s new American Deluxe Telecaster® is the 21st century way to rock with a Telecaster, graced by the added distinction of a traditional ash body. The compound radius fretboard allows effortless string bending anywhere along the neck, and staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability for stunt guitarists who like to bend behind the nut. New N3 Noiseless™ pickups provide improved Telecaster tones for snappy bell-like chime with no the hum; other features include S-1™ switching and chromed brass bridge saddles.
Fender N3 Noiseless pickups N3 Noiseless pickups deliver the best of yesterday and today, because they deliver landmark vintage Fender tone and response without the hum that can plague single-coil pickups. Using an improved stacked coil-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Telecaster pickup position. The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the sized, shape, and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone. N3 Noiseless pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

This is also another guitar that I was really impressed with. Considering how many people touched it before I did, it was still in tune. The strings were set up nice and high so I could pound on them real hard and I could get a nice popping twangy sound even with the gain up a bit. The S-1 switch also added to the sound and gave it more variety. It was also nice because it was noiseless. The finish was also beautiful because it was transparent and you could see the grain. A common trait on guitars but still enjoyable.
Fender has always been known for the delicious signature tones that it's guitars produce, and this guitar undoubtably lives up to the reputation. While playing clean, this guitar offers that unique tonal clarity with each note strummed with that classic clean fender sparkle. When you enter more higher gain territory, this guitar can rip out some mean twang that resembles the great sounds of power pop, southern rock, and straight up vintage rock and roll. If the sound quality isn't reason enough to make the investment, the visual stimulation of this guitar should do the trick with it's impeccable finish. If you are looking for a dynamic guitar that can offer beautiful clean tones and ripping twang rhythms and leads, this is the guitar is made for you.
I own a 2001 American Stratocaster, a 1991 American Telecaster, a 2006 Gibson Les Paul and this week I purchased the Guitar that I've been looking for. The Fender American Deluxe Ash Telecaster. I could give you all kinds of technical info but I think the best way is go and play one. I have put my other Guitars up for sale and now I can enjoy playing and stop looking for that speacial feel, action and sound.
