DISC Fender American Elite Nashville Telecaster HSS

Full Description

Solid Ash Wood Body

The Fender LTD Nashville Telecaster features a solid ash wood body, delivering a classic Fender ‘twang’ with sweet, airy tones. The lightweight ash provides the guitar with excellent resonance and sustain, offering firm lows, pleasing highs, and a scooped midrange. This limited edition guitar is finished in a beautiful antique cherry burst and a nitrocellulose lacquer, with its thin, porous, and delicate coating allowing the tonewoods to breath with their natural tonal character and resonance. The lacquer is also known to wear and age in a certain way that appeals to many players.

Compound Radius Maple Neck

Designed for fast playing and effortless position changes, the compound profile neck is perfect for all playing styles. With a modern ''C'' shape at the nut, the profile then transitions along the length of the neck to a modern ''D'' shaped profile at the neck heel, providing plenty of support and ensuring comfortable playing sessions. Maple is used for both the neck and fingerboard, resulting in a bright characteristic with sizzling highs, firm lows, and a snappy midrange attack.

Pure Vintage Single-Coils & Shawbucker Pickup

The American Elite Nashville Tele is equipped with a set of Pure Vintage ’64 single-coils with grey bottoms in the neck and middle positions, with a powerful Shawbucker placed at the bridge to deliver versatile tones made to tear up the stage. While the Shawbucker brings the fat, saturated tones for beefing up performances, the two Pure Vintage single-coils offer a warm, vintage-style tone reminiscent of the 60s. These powerfully vintage single-coil pickups were designed and constructed to be as period-correct as possible, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fibre bobbins, and alnico 5 magnets.

S-1 Switch

Along with its master volume and tone controls, the LTD American Elie Nashville Tele is equipped with an addition control to enhance its versatility. The S-1 switch is located on the tone pot, providing players with additional wiring options and delivering even more tonal variations.

String Through Construction

This Limited-Edition Fender incorporates a string-through body construction to improve the overall tonality and sustain, transferring the vibrations and resonance from the strings to the body. The 6-saddle Hardtail bridge features block saddles to keep the strings stable, allowing the guitar to be played harder without going out of tune.

Bone Nut

Along with its amazing tone and looks, the Fender LTD Nashville Tele also features a bone nut which adds to its classic aesthetic. The main purpose of using a bone nut, compared to modern materials, is the bone offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self-lubricates and helps the guitar to stay in tune for longer.

Elite Moulded Case

This unique guitar is delivered in an elite moulded case, featuring body-hugging contours which holds the guitar firmly in place. TSA latches are also included for enhanced security and easy access. This durable case also features a stacking ability, for easy storage and transport.

Limited Edition Parallel Universe Series

The Limited Edition Parallel Universe series takes everything you know about Fender and turns it on its head, offering different variations of their iconic guitars in a unique and truly stunning way. If you’ve ever thought about what Fender’s Telecaster or Stratocaster would look like if combined with the Jazzmaster or Jaguar, then the Parallel Universe Series of guitars are for you. Each Limited-Edition guitar is only available for a short time, which makes it extremely collectable while also adding to its investment value.
