Fender Classic Series '72 Telecaster Deluxe MN, Black - Ex Demo Overview

The Fender Classic Series 72 Telecaster Deluxe MN is a vintage-inspired instrument with modern touches. It is a reissue of the original Telecaster Deluxe, a guitar introduced in 1972 and intended to be at the top of the Telecaster range. In the '70s, an era when more guitarists were turning towards rock music, Fender hired Seth Lover (former Gibson-employee) to design a new humbucker for the Telecaster range to appeal to the rock music scene. The Classic Series '72 Telecaster Deluxe is a reissue of this model and features the same "Wide Range" humbuckers for a full frequency response and a powerful sound. This guitar includes many aesthetic touches from the original '70s model, including a "Bullet" truss rod, oversized scratch plate, large Stratocaster headstock, 3-bolt neck plate, and amp-style control knobs. With a resonant alder body and dual humbuckers (each with its own vol/tone controls), the '72 Telecaster Deluxe is a versatile instrument that will perform well in many genres, and particularly well in rock music. It features a comfortable neck specification that will feel right at home for guitarists familiar with traditional single-cutaway, dual humbucker guitars. This Telecaster is a modern take on a classic instrument and is designed to inspire you with the pioneering spirit of the '70s. It features classic aesthetics combined with modern playability and will perform well in whichever genre you choose.

The Deluxe Telecaster

The Fender Deluxe Telecaster was introduced in 1972 to appeal to the emerging rock musicians of the decade. It featured dual "Wide Range" humbuckers (designed by former Gibson employee, Seth Lover) that provided a wide range frequency response and was perfect for rock music. The Classic Series '72 Telecaster Deluxe is a reissue of its predecessor, and it combines the '70s aesthetics and playing feel to give you a vintage guitar experience with modern playability.

Alder Body

The Fender Classic Series '72 Deluxe Telecaster features a solid alder body which is bright and highly resonant. It is finished in a sleek black colour and has a classy aesthetic when paired with the maple neck.

Vintage Feel

This Telecaster takes many playing specifications from the 1972 original, in order to give you the authentic playing feel of an instrument that deviated from traditional Fender specifications. The neck has a comfortable "C" profile, while the fingerboard is mounted with 22 medium jumbo frets for easy string bends and vibrato. The fingerboard has a modern 12'' radius to provide a lower action and faster playability.

Wide Range Humbuckers

The original Deluxe Telecaster introduced humbucking pickups to satisfy the demands of guitarists of the time. The Classic Series Deluxe Telecaster features similar "Wide Range" humbuckers to deliver a full frequency response which makes the most of the resonant solid body design. The pickups are wired with a 3-way switch and dual volume/tone controls for all your tone shaping requirements. This provides a versatile setup that can achieve a large range of sounds.

Vintage Aesthetics

This guitar includes many aesthetic features from 1970s Fender guitars. A '70s-style Stratocaster headstock and oversized scratch plate provide an authentic look, along with a "Bullet" truss rod and 3-bolt neck plate. Furthermore, the string-through-body bridge and micro-tilt neck adjustment add '70s design touches that also enhance the stability and playability of the guitar. Even if the aesthetic of this Telecaster is over 40 years old, the construction and playability are completely up-to-date.
