Fender 2017 Limited Edition Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster 90

Full Description

Alder Body With Malaysian Blackwood Top

The Fender 2017 Limited Edition Tele has an alder body that produces a resonant and balanced tone with plenty of clarity and body. Fender have used alder as their tonewood of choice for electric guitars since the 1950's, as the balanced response and slight upper middle definition makes it perfect for rock and blues playing. Topped with Malaysian blackwood, this guitar offers a unique appearance that will stand out on any stage. Paired with a ''deep C'' maple neck, players can enjoy iconic Fender playability and sustain required by experienced musicians.

JP-90 Pickups

This 2017 Limited edition Tele is equipped with a duo of JP-90 single-coil pickups, which are located on the neck and bridge position. Players can achieve vintage-style tones, with a mid-range growl and a high-end bite. These pickups are easily controlled via the master volume and tone controls, along with a three-way pickup switch.

The History of the Telecaster

The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster. An indispensable instrument, the Telecaster was the world's first successful solid-body electric guitar. Perfected after two years of development - and a name change or two - the Telecaster debuted in February 1951 and began its steady ascent towards the stage and studio. Ingeniously engineered with the ability to be heard both loud and clear, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse functionality.
