Crafted for comfort
An effortless feel. The American Elite Tele was born for endless playability. Immerse yourself in a luxurious playing experience, as your hand glides across the velvety maple fretboard. A unique morphing neck profile begins as a modern “C” at the nut, whilst increasing in girth to a modern “D” shape towards the neck heel. This one-of-a-kind neck profile entails both supreme comfort, and rapid position changes, presenting the pinnacle of Fender construction. Topped off with a satin-finished maple neck, the American Elite Tele gifts players with a performance of true bliss.

The History of the Telecaster
The dawn of a legacy. The rich history of Fender began with the Telecaster. Introduced as the world’s first successful solid-body electric guitar, the Telecaster was perfected after two years of development, and debuted in the February of 1951. It was there where the Fender Telecaster commenced its unstoppable journey to becoming one of the most iconic guitars of all time. Ingeniously engineered with the ability to excel in any genre, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse functionality. It is perhaps a fitting testimony to its essential originality that the Telecaster design has hardly changed ever since. Why alter perfection?
