A righteous version of the classic original.

The Telecaster is an undeniable force in all styles of guitar-based American music and the Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Electric Guitar is the top of the Tele chain! It offers stunningly accurate noiseless vintage sounds through two Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups, as well as new variations through the versatile S-1 switching system. Its highly detailed fret and nut work make it incredibly easy to play. Other features include a bound-top alder body with a comfortably contoured back, abalone dot inlays, and aged plastic parts.

S-1 Pickup Switching
Fender s trademarked pickup switching system that allows the guitarist to keep single-coil sounds while eliminating the noises. On most Strat models, when the guitarist selects pickup position 2 (neck and middle pickups) or position 4 (middle/neck), the two pickups are combined with parallel. This parallel wiring produces the "in-between" tones that Strat guitars are famous for. (see in-between tones). With S-1 pickup switching, a guitarist can place pickups in series by using the push-pull switch located in the crown of the master volume knob. Wiring two single-coil pickups in series produces the sound of a humbucking pickup with reduced high frequencies and more midrange. Positions 2, 3, and 4 also include a capacitor that further cuts the high frequencies for an even fatter, rounder humbucker sound. For example, position 2 with the S-1 switch down has the neck pickup wired in parallel with the capacitor and in series with the middle pickup.

Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups

It's no secret that pickup designers have been striving to develop the ultimate noise-free single-coil replacement pickup. In pursuit of as little 60-cycle hum and extraneous noise as possible and the classic bell-like tones and fidelity of the original Fender designs, Fender has poured their energy into discovering a world-class pickup for the ages. With open minds and a willingness to seemingly question everything, Fender partnered with legendary pickup designer Bill Lawrence. The pickup that was birthed from this extraordinary partnership is the Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickup. It has no hum, no microphonics, close to zero magnetic interruption of the string path, and the widest sonic parameters possible - from Fender classic single-coils to tones not yet imagined. Truly a revolutionary design in guitar pickups.

I just received my American Deluxe Tele 4 days ago, and I couldn't be more please with the Aged-Cherry Sunburst, and the Maple Neck. This thing plays like butter. On the other hand I am disappointed with the set up "Out Of The Box", the innotation is horribe ,but nothing a quick $30-$40 dollars won't fix, but what can one expect. My expectations were very high on this guitar, becase I had bought an American Deluxe Strat in 2004, and it was absolutely superb. I play through a 1969 Fender Twin Reverb. All and all in my 17 years of playing I think the American Standard has more of that authentic "twang" of classic and modern country, if you like that kind of thing. Great product from Fender, and Musicias Friend.

I have had my American Deluxe Telecaster for a little over a year now. I love the feel of the neck and the versatility of the sounds I can get. I look forward to every time I get to play my tele. Not only does the cherry sunburst look great, the S-1 switching is fabulous. This guitar is a must have for any musician.

I bought this guitar about a year and a half ago. Cherry burst with maple neck. Absolutely one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. The sound and tone are just as beautiful. I also have an american deluxe fat stratocaster, and though I love my strat, I have not been able to get a better tone out of it. It is a dream to play and I highly recommend this guitar. Worth every single penny.
