Fender American Double Cut Telecaster LTD ED USA Butterscotch TELE +OHSC 33690

You're looking at a Fender Telecaster Limited Edition American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde. It includes hardshell case, sealed paperwork, and hangtag. A beautiful guitar that was made in small quantity for one year only. It's one of a kind take on the Tele that's gonna be worth a bundle some day cause it's so different. Part of Fender's "10 for 15" series, only 500 units were made of this guitar (see below).

Cosmetically, it has one edge ding (see pics) and a tiny indent on the headstock. Playability is awesome. Frets are good but have some mild flattening. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

From Fender 2015 NAMM press release:
"Fender is pleased to announce the release of the “10 for ’15” Limited Edition Collection, a series of 10 guitars that will be limited to 500 of each worldwide."

What You Get
-- Full setup, cleaning, and new strings.
-- FREE USA shipping.
-- 30-day return policy.
-- Ship within 1 business day--pro packing.

Guitar Setup
All setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Fender 2015 Limited Edition American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Two Custom Shop single-coil pickups for huge tone
Improved bridge design gives you increased sustain
Thinner body undercoat for optimal body resonance
Two Custom Shop single-coil pickups for huge tone

The original Tele pickups had more twang than any two normal guitars, thanks to the single-coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions. The Fender Limited Edition American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster sports Custom Shop pickups with a Twisted Tele rhythm pickup and a vintage-style single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup. The Double-Cut Telecaster is incredibly responsive to its tone control, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your tone. But turn the no-load tone controller all the way up to ten, and the tone circuit is actually removed completely from the signal path. You'll hit your amplifier with a hotter output and brighter tone than you'd get with the normal tone circuit. That alone makes the iconic tone of a Fender Limited Edition American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster a total steal, but when you add Sweetwater's 55-point Evaluation, you know you're getting a great guitar in brand-new playing condition - and at a better value than anywhere else!

Improved bridge design gives you increased sustain
The Fender Limited Edition American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster features an improved bridge design that serves up mondo sustain. The 5-screw-mounted brass bridge plate is loaded with bent-steel saddles with elongated string slots for increased resonance and sustain. The result is impressively improved sustain - which brings us back to the Tele's origins. As the first production solidbody guitar, Leo Fender's idea with the Esquire, and later the Broadcaster (as the Tele was originally called), was to mimic the solidity of the pedal steel, juicing sustain and volume while avoiding the feedback issues that tended to plague hollowbody guitars onstage.

Thinner body undercoat for optimal body resonance
An undercoat serves to give the paint a smooth surface to adhere to so you have a nice-looking finish. The thicker the undercoat, the more glass-like the finish, but the more constricted the guitar's body wood - which could affect tone. Fender has switched to a new undercoat that is thinner and allows the body to flex and resonate more while retaining the cosmetic advantages of an undercoat. The result? You get the tough-as-nails resilience of a modern poly finish with tonal characteristics that are more in line with classic lacquer finishes. With Fender's American Standard Telecaster, you get the best of both worlds.
