Limited Edition Fender MIJ '70s Telecaster Deluxe with Tremolo in Butterscotch Blonde
Fender’s MIJ range of guitars has only recently been more readily available in the UK, finally filling a demand which has been there for some time. Though coming in at a significant cost reduction over American-made instruments, these Made In Japan guitars represent the best of Japanese build quality. They are, in other words, world class.
If you’re looking at a '70s model, you’re likely after the range of mods which defined Tele’s built in this decade of experimentation and advancement. This Deluxe model is fitted with twin Fender Wide Range Humbucking pickups, controlled via a 3-position blade. An extended 3-ply Black pickguard complements the black amp-style skirted control knobs, while the 6-saddle synchronised tremolo bridge allows a range of whammy-bar tricks not usually accessible on a Tele.
In terms of feel, the “U”-shaped neck is fatter than your run-of-the-mill “C”-shaped neck, ideal for those with larger hands, or for someone who just likes some chunk to their neck. It’s certainly in-keeping with the workhorse nature of a Tele. The flatter-than-traditional 9.5”-radius fretboard is ideal for a wide range of styles, making this a highly versatile guitar for musicians across genres.
