Feel The Groove Of 1972!

The Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe brings back a classic and distinctive solidbody electric guitar design. In the early 1970s, rock was moving into a "heavier" era, and players wanted thicker tone and more sustain than most single-coils could offer. The answer was a Telecaster with humbucking pickups designed by the legendary Seth Lover. This '72 Telecaster Deluxe features those Wide Range pickups, as well as a "C"-shaped neck with a large Strat-style headstock, hardtail Strat bridge, and cool, period-correct appointments. Get the sound of a classic era of rock with the '72 Telecaster Deluxe!

Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe Features:
  • Body: Alder
  • Color: Black
  • Neck: Maple, C Shape, polyurethane
  • Fingerboard: Maple
  • Frets: 21 Medium-jumbo
  • Pickups: Two Wide Range humbucking
  • Pickguard: 3-ply black
  • Controls: Two volume, two tone
  • Switching: 3-way
  • Tuners: Vintage F
  • Bridge: Vintage Strat string through body hardtail
  • Hardware: Chrome
  • Strings: Super 250L
  • Case: DeLuxe gig bag included

The Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe re-creates the sound and vibe of a classic Tele!
