If you’re after classic Telecaster snap with a few modern upgrades, this 2017 Fender American Special Telecaster in Sherwood Green Metallic checks all the right boxes. Made in the USA, this model blends timeless Fender design with player-friendly features that feel immediately familiar along with a couple of aftermarket upgrades.
The alder body delivers that unmistakable Tele bite and clarity, while the replacement Seymour Duncan La Brea pickups add that classic Tele bite, twang and clarity we all love. Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit lets you roll off highs without adding muddiness, keeping your sound tight and articulate at any setting.
The original neck has been replaced with a new Fender neck—aged amber tint, dark rosewood fingerboard, and classic spaghetti logo gives this Tele all of the extra vintage vibe. The replacement neck has a nice “C” profile that’s not too thin but not overally thick with a 9.5" radius and medium-jumbo frets feels fast and comfortable,making bends effortless and chord work smooth up and down the neck. Finished in a striking Sherwood Green Metallic with a mint green pickguard, this Tele looks just as good as it sounds. Lightweight at 7 lbs 7 oz, it’s an easy player for long sessions or gigs.
Does not come with original pickups or neck.
