Overview
On its 1951 introduction, the Telecaster was a revolutionary
instrument that would usher in whole new eras of musical innovation and
excitement. Sixty years later, in 2011, it is an archetypal electric
guitar with a long and storied history. The rich history of Fender
guitars begins with the Telecaster, and we’re celebrating its 60th
anniversary all year with 12 very special “Tele-bration” models that
stay inside the Telecaster’s famously elegant lines while offering the
finest and most unusual takes on the instrument’s past, present and
future.
This is a Vintage Hot Rod series Telecaster model with a
Seymour Duncan® ’59 humbucking neck pickup and an innovative new
vintage-style bridge with three brass saddles that now allow precise
intonation of each individual string.
