Product Description
The Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar combines the best of the old and new. Fender equips the Tele with vintage noiseless single-coil pickups, shielded body cavities, medium jumbo frets, cast/sealed machine heads, and a 6-saddle strings-through-body bridge. Since its introduction in the early '50s, professionals in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster for its powerful tone and smooth playability. The vintage noiseless Telecaster pickups offer sound like a '60s Tele's without the 60-cycle buzz. They're made with the same Fender technology as the noiseless Strat pickups, but are voiced for traditional Telecaster tone. Special Alnico 5 magnets and enamel coated magnet wire along with Fender's Noiseless technology produce a uniquely quiet vintage sound. The Fender Tele guitar's neck pickup has a nickel-silver cover for added clarity, while the bridge pickup produces the traditional twang you'd expect from a Fender Standard Telecaster. Each guitar pickup sports a very stylish Fender Noiseless logo.New features on this classically cool Telecaster guitar include a tinted neck and a '70s-style logo. Fender includes a standard gig bag with the FSR Ash Telecaster.

My FSR MIM Telecaster is a tremendous value in price/features and most importantly a beautiful sounding instrument. You don't need much of anything by way of effects to load up the sound of this guitar except an overdrive/distortion pedal and maybe a Crybaby. It boasts an ash body and a double tinted, satin modern gauge maple neck. The ash body has a beautiful finish (it's nearly impossible to tell if how many pieces the body is actually made from) and the ash grain comes through in spectacular contrast. The maple neck is fast and clean, and I love having vintage, noiseless pickups. The shielded body of the FSR eliminates the "static and fuzzy" quirk many Telecasters have (even present in the American Standard). While it does not have the classic ashtray 3-saddle bridge (which I believe is more a retro-design "flourish", and not a necessity), the 6 saddle bridge provides exceptional control over setup and intonation. I don't think many of us can close our eyes and listen to the playing of an ash body Tele and say "Hold it now. I can tell by listening that Tele doesn't have a 3 saddle bridge, so it's not a Tele!". To the purists that insist on the ashtry 3-saddle bridge, I say: "Nonsense". String gauge and string type selection is a bigger influencer of final sound than the bridge. If you're a stickler for a metal nut, that might be one upgrade I could understand. But this guitar sounds wonderful and expansive. Full twang in neck pickup select, "baked potato with sour cream and butter" in the center position and lush bottomy sound with tone up on the bridge pickup select. It's the best of both worlds: American Standard materials and finish with a few custom shop features at a MIM price point. And, the fret work is terrific. I've read and heard that the fretwork in the Mexico shop is inconsistent and shoddy. I can't say that about this guitar. It's well crafted from cutaway-to-curve. You won't be able to put this wonderful instrument down, and the rich classic Tele sound will have you swooning.
