American Elite Telecaster EB (Satin Ice Blue Metallic)
Fender American Elite Telecaster EB (Satin Ice Blue Metallic)
The Fender American Elite Telecaster EB (Satin Ice Blue Metallic) is the modern player’s take on the classic Fender instrument, instantly recognisable and used on innumerable all-time-great recordings. The Telecaster represents reliability and versatility, and those elements are very much in evidence with the American Elite Telecaster. The 2x 4th generation noiseless pick-ups allow users to build crystal clear country and jazz tones, all the way up to gritty, overdriven sounds. Series or Parallel wiring can be selected with the discrete S1-Switch, located as a push switch atop the volume control. Other modern appointments include Locking Short-Post Tuning Machines for enhanced tuning stability, and Double Action Truss Rod Adjustment Wheels to make neck refinements as painless as possible.
The main features of the Fender American Elite Telecaster EB (Satin Ice Blue Metallic) include:
Its hard to know where to begin reviewing a guitar like this . For the past few years ive been playing an old , mid price fender strat . Finally after a long time considering a new , high end purchase , i decided on the Ash body elite telecaster . Immediately what i noticed is that every aspect of this guitar is designed for the professional player . You truly dont understand how great a compound D-C neck feels until you play one . On the same note i believe that the G4 noiseless pickups are the best fender have ever made . You get fat blues/jazz sound from the neck pup and truly vintage twangy tone from the bridge pup . And not to mention that these pickups are DEAD QUIET . Because of the locking tuners also , i cant remember playing a guitar that stays in tune like this without some kind of locking trem . Through out an entire live show , i may have to tweak a string once . For me being a very heavy handed player , this was very surprising . You can always find people making fun online about how fender release new guitars with progressively higher prices , and ill admit i was skeptical in the past about the american deluxe series . However i really believe that any doubter who plays one of these will see the value of all the small tweaks and improvements fender have made . It makes me confident that i will play this guitar for the rest of my life .

Beautifully made and perfectly set up, this instrument remains faithful to the original masterpiece of industrial and musical design which is the Fender Telecaster. It incorporates a host of unobtrusive improvements: easy truss rod adjuster, a 22nd fret, a fully-intonatable bridge, locking tuners, the series/parallel S1 switch, the comfort body profiling, the convenient and elegantly-reshaped heel, and the noiseless pickups. A joy to play and a delight to the ear, it's an instrument to treasure.
