Description

The Fender FSR '72 Telecaster Custom electric guitar is a versatile tone machine. 1972 was a magical year for the Fender Telecaster and this FSR (Fender Special Run) edition features many of the options that were available back in the day, like a solid alder body, a C-shaped maple neck, bullet truss rod, cast/sealed machine heads, and a 6-saddle strings-through-body bridge.

The Fender FSR '72 Telecaster Custom guitar sports Fender's "wide range" humbucking neck pickup with a nickel-silver cover for added clarity, while a traditional single-coil bridge pickup produces the traditional twang you'd expect from a Fender Standard Telecaster. Controls include 2 volume and 2 tone skirted amp knobs plus a 3-way toggle switch on the upper bout. The electric guitar's appointments include a Custom 3-ply (black/white/black) pickguard and chrome hardware.

Fender's Special Run products like the FSR 1972 Telecaster are guitars customized to the specs desired by specific dealers. The Fender custom shop offers customization options in the type of wood for the body, neck type, pickups, finish, color and tuners.

    What can i say, THIS GUITAR IS BEAST. It sounds more amazing than some very expensive Gibsons. This is the best Fender i have ever played. The tone is amazing. sounds better than a Gibson darkfire. It gives tone and feel like no other. Buy It

    This guitar is absolutely amazing. There are many awesome things about this guitar. The feel of this guitar is like no other, it feels perfect, it feels like another part of your body, the guitar feels like its accustomed to you. Another cool thing about the guitar is the clean sound, most of you can probably tell the difference between one guitars clean sound and another guitars clean sound but fenders clean sound has always been unique, you know the guitar you are playing is a fender by the clean sound. This guitar will also do distortion, it won't do heavy metal stuff but it will do a little distortion and it will sound good. This guitar is the perfect guitar for someone who likes amazing clean tones, light rock and roll and blues.
