Fender American Elite Thinline Telecaster (3-Colour Sunburst) Overview
The Fender American Elite Thinline Telecaster brings the classic design of the iconic Thinline firmly into the 21st century with a number of cutting-edge design features. A pair of 4th generation Noiseless singlecoils give the warm spanky sound that Thinline Teles are known for but without the hum that can make them a bit of a nightmare. This makes the American Elite a great recording guitar.Fender have added an Elite Suspension Bridge to the Elite Thinline Tele which has the three brass saddles that are a key ingredient to the Telecaster's tone with the innovation of a screwless mount for increased vibration transfer. This gives added sustain and richer dynamics. The next-gen features don't stop there. The compound profile neck has a 9.5"-14" radius fingerboard which transforms from a C shape at the nut to a D at the neck heel, making it playable the whole way up. Enhanced body contours make this an extremely comfortable instrument on the strap. If you want great semi-hollow tones with modern playability, look no further than the Fender American Elite Thinline Telecaster.
