Fender American Special Telecaster Shell Pink
Enjoy the U.S-made Fender quality of the American Special Telecaster in a CME exclusive Shell Pink finish!
The original go-to guitar for that country-style chicken pickin’, the Telecaster gets a thoroughly American upgrade with two Texas Special single-coil pickups and Greasebucket circuitry. Add to that a modern “C” neck profile and jumbo frets and the Fender American Special Telecaster is more than enough to make us stand at attention.
About Fender American Special Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Quality players play quality instruments, and nothing speaks to the virtues of American-made quality like the Fender American Special series. For all players, the American Special series represents an invitation to participate in the storied heritage of the American solid-body electric as exemplified by models like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Jazz and Precision basses. American components, American hardware, American sound–made nowhere else but here. That’s American Special.
