Fender have just announced the new release of the “Fender American Special Range”.
Stripped down, but still packing everything you need, these new American made instruments deliver professional performance at a reduced price to deliver some serious bang for your buck. With Jumbo frets and Texas Special pick ups, the guitars have more balls than the current American Standard Strats and Telecasters. With the more modern feeling neck and 70’s based styling, the American Specials are sure to have a wide appeal.
We have just received the first delivery of the American Special Telecaster which is on sale [HERE]. Keep your eyes peeled on our blog for reviews, video and the latest arrivals. This is HOT OFF THE PRESS so to speak and very new! We have EVERY model arriving soon. As soon as the latest stock arrives, we will let you know so you can beat the rush and get the first American Special Stratocaster and Telecaster’s to hit UK shores.
Here’s the latest from Fender…
The latest incarnations of Fender’s famous Telecaster and Stratocaster models comprise the new American Special series-built “by the people and for people” as value-conscious “guitars for the times.” They are designed specifically to bring the full Fender experience of a terrific-sounding, smooth-playing, rock-solid-built U.S.-made Fender guitar to the workingman without emptying his bank account.
The three instruments in the new series—the American Special Telecaster, American Special Stratocaster and American Special Stratocaster HSS—are highly affordable Fender electric guitars that are within the reach of an entire spectrum of players. As such, they share many features with their cousins in the acclaimed Highway One™ and American Standard series.
All three American Special guitars feature alder bodies with gloss urethane finishes, 9.5″-radius maple necks with jumbo frets, and Texas Special™ pickups (the Stratocaster HSS has an Atomic™ humbucking bridge pickup).
The American Special Telecaster has a vintage-style string-through-body Telecaster bridge with three brass saddles, a black pickguard, and is available in Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst. American Special Stratocaster has a vintage-style synchronized tremolo and white pickguard, and is available in Candy Apple Red and Two-color Sunburst. The American Special Stratocaster HSS has a rosewood fingerboard, black pickguard and vintage-style synchronized tremolo, and is available in Black and Three-color Sunburst.
