FS Fender FSR American Elite Telecaster Thinline Exotic (reclaimed mahogany) - withdrawn from sale
What's Hot
Up for sale is a rather special limited edition Telecaster from Fender USA. This is a 2017 FSR Fender Exotic American Elite Thinline Telecaster (quite a mouthful), made using Honduran Mahogany reclaimed after Hurricane Mitch. Also features a stunning birdseye maple neck and fretboard, with compound radius and neck profile.
As can be seen, the guitar is in excellent condition - barely a mark on it. Very very limited fretwear and overall playability is great.The mahogany adds a little warmth to the standard tele spec sound. The modern spec and appointments and overall build feels more like a Suhr or Anderson than a Fender. About as good as it gets outside of the Custom Shop.
Comes with original hard case and original paperwork/certificate of authenticity/case candy.
Now withdrawn
Bought from Coda Music two years ago.
Full spec and blurb from Fender below:
-------
A departure from Fender's traditional tone wood choices, the 2017 Limited Edition American Elite Mahogany Tele Thinline tempers the traditional Tele bite with the rich sound and warm look of mahogany. Over the course of its journey from the forest floor to the player's hands, this body wood has weathered natural disasters, acquiring more than a little mojo along the way.
The 2017 Limited Edition American Elite Mahogany Tele Thinline is loaded with a single 4th Gen Noiseless single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup and a fat-sounding ShawBucker Special Wind humbucking neck pickup (coil-splittable via the S-1 switch) for noise-free, high-output tone. The Elite Suspension Bridge is a unique design; a screwless mount increases the vibration transfer, driving the top for nearly endless sustain and lively response. The compound-profile neck sports a 9.5"-14" compound-radius maple fingerboard, ideal for most playing styles, and topped by 22 medium jumbo frets for a familiar feel.
