American Vintage ‘52 Telecaster®

0100202

As one of the longest-running production models in history, the strength of the Tele® guitar lies in its inherent simplicity. It’s been modified only slightly in its 40+-year tenure. The ‘52 integrates a premium ash body with a one-piece “U” shaped maple neck and a 7.25” radius fingerboard. It features the original Tele circuit with its three-position switch*, brass bridge saddles and ashtray cover (vintage six-saddle bridge included as an accessory), a single-ply Black pickguard, master volume and master tone, and chrome hardware. Also available in a left-handed model (010-0222). (*Modern wiring update kit and parts are included).
