The Fender American Standard Telecaster Lefty Electric Guitar is a pro player's axe that delivers authentic Tele vibe. American Series pickups and deluxe hardware with original '52 ash or alder body dimensions deliver more resonance and tone. The maple neck has a modern C shape with rolled edges and highly finished frets for easier playability. The detailed nut eliminates rattles and improves tuning stability. Custom staggered tuning machines eliminate the need for one of the string trees. Staggered pole pieces in the pickups provide balanced output across all strings, and especially improves tone for the G-stringThe return of the American Standard Series Telecaster continues Fender's tradition of commitment to the people who play Fender instruments out there in the real world.
