DISC Fender Light Ash American Pro Stratocaster RW, Aged Natural

Full Description

Perfectly designed pickups

The clue's in the name: electric guitar. So it stands to reason that pretty much the most vital part of any electric guitar is the electronics. Fender have loaded the American Pro Tele with a pair of V-Mod single-coil pickups - and they've done absolutely everything to ensure that they represent the pinnacle of performance. Designed meticulously by Fender's chief engineer, Tim Shaw, they're certain to be some of the most clear, powerful pickups you've ever played.

They'll help your playing cut through any mix with clarity. Performing exceptionally well at high output, they're also designed to eliminate any noise interference, and will deliver your guitar lines clearly and with precision. With a particularly strong mid-range, your audience will never miss any of your riffs or solos. And 3-way switching means you can instantly flick from lead to rhythm tones in the blink of an eye. Add in a treble bleed circuit making sure your high notes still sizzle when the volume is turned down low, and you've got a stunning set of electronics to meet all of your needs.

Sensational playability

Performing has never felt this natural. The Fender Light Ash Telecaster has been equipped with a super-ergonomic "C"-to-"D" shaped neck profile. Combining two of the most popular neck shapes in guitar making, it's designed to provide all of the hallmark benefits of both - meaning you get a playing experience like no other.

You can enjoy exquisite comfort while you're holding your guitar. The "C" shape is designed to fit flawlessly to the contours of your hand. So you won't have to stretch or strain to hit notes and chords. As your hand progresses up the scale, the neck morphs into a "D" shape. With a larger 9.5" fingerboard radius, it's better for soloing across the top frets. There's nothing out there that can beat the versatile, all-encompassing playability of the American Pro Tele.

Play all night

No guitarist wants to be held back in their playing. To truly enjoy performance, you need to feel free and comfortable on-stage. The American Pro Telecaster's body is constructed from lightweight ash wood - meaning you'll never feel weighed down. You'll be able to move around as much as you like, and won't suffer from the back or shoulder strain associated with holding a clunky, heavy instrument. So playing on for long periods is made easy. Ideal for those shows that you never want to end.

Superb down to the tiniest detail

There's a hell of a lot that goes into making a guitar this good. Even the very smallest features have been optimised to ensure its status as one of Fender's best ever. A bone string nut improves sustain in every note, and helps maintain your tuning for longer. Your hand can glide smoothly and speedily up and down the neck thanks to a sleek satin urethane finish. And narrow tall frets will let you string bend with ease. This is complete performance.
