Up for sale is a 2010 Fender American Special Telecaster in Olympic White. The guitar in about a year old and is in excellent condition with only one flaw, a small nick on the back edge of the guitar (pics available). The pickups have been upgraded from the high output Fender Texas Specials to a more traditional sounding Seymour Duncan Jerry Donahue bridge pickup and a Seymour Duncan STR-1 Vintage '54 Rhythm pickup, a $130 value. The original Fender Texas Special pickups are included. Aside from the pickup change and Fender/Schaller straplocks, the guitar is stock. Here is the description and specs from Fender's website:
* Fender rolls out the American Special Telecaster Electric Guitar that delivers a healthy combination of modern and traditional tones at a price that won't drain your wallet. But don't let the stripped-down price fool you into thinking it's a stripped-down guitar. It starts with an alder body, offering strength in construction and clarity in tone. The unique pickups on the Fender American Special Telecaster provide distinguishing sonic characteristics. The Texas Special single-coil Tele neck pickup delivers a full and meaty tone, the Texas Special Tele bridge pickup delivers that familiar Tele bite with a touch of warmth, and the Greasebucket tone circuit rolls off the highs without adding bass. The subtle 9-1/2" radius maple neck, maple fingerboard, and jumbo frets make this Fender guitar very finger-friendly. Other features include an original-style Tele bridge with three brass saddles, an oversized '70s-style decal, and black pickup covers, plastic parts, and dot position inlays.
* Finish: Gloss
* Body: Alder
* Neck: Maple

* Machine Heads: Fender standard cast/sealed tuning machines
* Hardware: Chrome

* Width at nut: 1-11/16"
* Unique features: Greasebucket Tone Circuit, 3 Texas Special Pickups, large '70s-style decal, black pickup covers and plastic parts, brass bridge saddles, black dot position inlays, "barrel" switch tip
I have also setup the guitar for .010-.046 strings and it plays like a dream. The guitar comes with the original Fender deluxe gigbag. I'm asking $650 OBO (+ actual shipping) for this beautiful telecaster. PayPal only. Sorry, no trades right now. Shoot me a PM if interested and for bigger photos.
