Fender Select Carved Maple Top Telecaster, Amber

Full Description

The smooth-playing compound radius flame maple fretboard (9.5"-14") has 22 medium jumbo frets, stylish black pearloid position inlays and a gloss lacquer finish. Crisp, clear signature sound comes from Fender Select Telecaster single-coil neck and bridge pickups with three-way switching and a no-load tone control that delivers the natural uncoloured sound of the bridge pickup when dimed.
