Fender Aerodyne Special Telecaster, California Blue

Full Description

The iconic Telecaster sounds

Sparkling, glistening, growling - all apply here! Equipped with dual Aerodyne Special Telecaster single coils, you can create a vast vintage soundscape. They've been voiced specifically to bring out the classic character of the Telecasters of old - but with a modern clarity and a set of more focused dynamics. Offering crystal clear articulation and that unmistakable Fender tone, you'll feel right at home here.

Fast and modern style playability

It may offer vintage sounds, but you'll be able to shred and riff on the Aerodyne without limits. Presenting a contemporary "C" shape neck carve with a silky-smooth satin finish, it's a joy to hold. Transitions around the fretboard are made quick and effortless by the buttery satin finish, while a flatter 12" radius rosewood fretboard allows for speedy leads and extreme pitch bends. Complete with 22 medium jumbo sized frets, it serves up an easy string action across the length of the fretboard.

Babicz Z-Series FCH bridge

Ultra-reliable and incredibly resonant, the Aerodyne Telecaster sports a unique Babicz Z-Series FCH bridge. The FCH stands for "Full Contact Hardware" which summarises its approach to keep your strings, saddles, bridge, and body as closely locked together as possible. The end result is an outstanding level of sustain and resonance in each note, as more of your string vibrations are fed through to the pickups.

Sleek feel and alluring looks

It's the same gorgeous Telecaster silhouette that has inspired guitarists for generations, only in a sleeker, more futuristic form. Using a slim basswood body, it's light, nimble, and easy to wield in any situation. Complete with comfort contours, it's a smooth and relaxing playing experience. And it's one that looks utterly superb! Sporting a captivating California Blue finish with chrome hardware, in addition to a smartly bound body, it'll make you the centre of attention at any show.

Reliable locking tuners

Play with as much passion and enthusiasm as you can muster - because your tuning isn't going to slip. Equipped with Fender's Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking tuners, you're guaranteed a stable and reliable performance. Even better, string changes become a breeze, making those maintenance sessions fly by.
