Description

Stunning rich finishes, cream body / neck binding, and contemporary features differentiates this Fender Set Neck Tele FMT electric guitar apart from many of the traditional Fender Telecasters built since the 1950’s. While the coil splitting volume pot allows for traditional Telecaster ® tones Fender is known for, this Fender Set Neck Custom Telecaster FMT covers many more tonal landscapes. This Set Neck Tele easily recreates tones found in genres from Rock, Pop, Metal, Alternative, Hard Core, Disco, Gospel, Hip Hop, Soul, Blues, Funk, Southern Rock, and even Country (and Western). Many various construction methods and ingredients including the Indian Laurel fingerboard mahogany neck glued into a mahogany body with a carved flamed maple top and string through body lend to the deep rich tones and notes that are able to sustain for ‘days’. The 2 USA made Seymour Duncan® Humbucker’s are wired in series for maximum thick compressed output associated. However, the volume knob also doubles as a switch to allow the 2 Humbucker’s to sound similar to a snappy single coil pickup more associated with the Fender Telecaster. The 22 jumbo metal frets, flat Indian Laurel fingerboard radius, ‘C’ shaped neck, belly cut bevel in the back of the mahogany body allow for comfortable chording, expressive bends while and smooth fit when sitting or using a strap. The large skinny neck strap buttons ensure that your strap stays on your guitar during even the most expressive performances. Buy with confidences as Fender’s long history as the leader in musical instruments for all levels of musicians from recording studios to the largest of stages. Countless recordings since the 1950’s use Fender instruments to create songs. This Fender Telecaster will provide decades of enjoyment and may even be used for the next hit song!

    • So Glad I Decided To Buy This Guitar
Color: Amber
I received this amber colored Fender Special Edition Custom Tele FMT HH from Amazon a couple of days ago. I must admit, I was a little nervous buying a relatively expensive guitar online and sight-unseen. So, needless to say, I went over it with a fine tooth comb when it finally arrived. And I must tell tell you, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. The finish on the one I got was beautiful and flawless, back and front, from the headstock on down. The flame maple top looks really nice to me and the cream edging around the top , and the neck as well, really enhances its good looks. The wood in the fretboard looks a nice dark color and the abalone fret markers on the fretboard look nice also. I could see where in certain lighting conditions these markers might be a little hard to see, but I would be saved by the easily seen black fret markers on the light cream edging alone the neck. The hardware on the guitar is kind of metallic black looking to me and works well with the black Seymour Duncan pups. I was also surprised at how well my was set-up right out of the box. I let it acclimate to room temperature, plugged it in and gave it a spin. Of course it needed tuning, but to my surprise it was not very far out of tune. I visually checked the neck and it looked straight and the Truss Rod needed no adjusting as the very slight concave that was already dialed in was perfect for me. The action was low, just as i like it, and with no fret buzzing, huurah! I also checked for dead frets and didn't find any. The intonation as set up was slightly off, but pretty darn good for out of the box! I'll adjust that later. So I am thinking someone took their time to set this guitar up nicely before it left the factory, and it held together pretty good on the long trip to finally get to me. Now, the best part was plugging it in and finally playing it! Those Seymour Duncan Humbuckers lived up to their reputation and sounded GREAT! I l already love playing this guitar! It sounds good sand feels good in my hands. I will note that I did find one thing I would like to change. The saddle adjustment screws stick up a little bit too far for my liking and feel a little sharp on the palm. Will look for some shorter ones. Overall, I am very pleased with this guitar thus far and think it was a good deal for the money. ... show more

    • Best guitar I’ve ever played for the price
Color: Amber
Think high end Les Paul, as far as sound and playability. This is not your typical Telecaster, but you can get the classic Tele sound out of it. The frets are very smooth and rounded on the ends. No sharp edges at all. The fretboard “flatness”, the action and even the intonation were all very close to perfect right out of the box! The Seymor Duncans are a really great combination with the split coil and selection options. The flame maple top is stunning and the fit & finish is right there with custom shop expectations. Genuinely equivalent to $5k guitars that I’ve owned, at 1/5 the price. A little known, gem of an instrument. ... show more

    • I love the guitar and the way that I got it.
Color: Crimson Red Transparent
I needed a fixed bridge guitar and always wanted a tele. Bits so generic that another fancier guitar took its place. This one is current. A couple of Dunkins, the Pearly Gates on the bridge is a great choice. I love that pickup. Lots of harmonic tone that’s really noticeable with even a little gain. Crazy harmonic with heavy gain. There’s a lot to love about this tele. I’m surprised that they don’t offer it in an American or Mexican model. A lot of great guitars are made in Indonesia. Amazon had a 5 month payment plan that worked perfect for me. I ended up buying something else the same way. I couldn’t recommend this guitar enough. ... show more

    • Upgrade to the great Telecaster. It's a Telecaster on steroids
Color: Amber
Worth the money. Plays great and sounds like I want my other Telecaster to sound like. Craftmanship is great. One piece body and neck is the only low point.

    • Great playing, great sounding,
Color: Crimson Red Transparent
This is a great little guitar. It is a bit on the compact side in several ways; light, small body, narrow neck, but that makes it easy to travel and minimizes fatigue when slung. I had an issue with the first one I received, the high E was barely on the fretboard at the F fret, allowing it to pull off too easily. Hopefully they’ll take note and address this, which would have allowed me to give this a 5+ rating. I returned and replaced it, and the second one I received was fine. Glad I replaced it, this guitar is worth the effort. The ship carton is a bit sketchy, but it arrived undamaged and intact. Great tonation, all the sound and playability of much costlier guitars, and that Fender legacy. I love it!!! ... show more

    • It’s hard to put it down
Color: Black Cherry Burst
Many reviews I read had packaging issues, I was a little concerned but I can tell you that my Fender special edition custom guitar was packed perfectly, it arrived much earlier than expected & in perfect condition, I haven’t found a single flaw. I only have my USA made Fender Telecaster to compare it to, this is not your father’s Telecaster, the humbuckers are sizzling hot, more sustain that I ever thought possible. This guitar is really fun to play, the action seems great, quite lower than my other guitars so it feels like a shredder, I’m very happy with the guitar, the transaction & shipping. This guitar wants to ROCK which is great although I need my clean tone as much as my dirty tone because I use a wide variety of pedals, these pickups are hotter than I expected, on my cleanest settings, the tone was still breaking up a bit however it sounds really good, I’m sure this guitar has many sweet spots & I enjoyed playing it so much I haven’t experimented with the pick up toggle yet. If you are a Jazz guitarist, there are guitars that are better suited for Jazz, this guitar although I’m sure Jazz could be played on this guitar just fine, but it will be Jazz with a bad attitude, it doesn’t sound like a classic Telecaster, to me it sounds more like a Gibson Les Paul but or a fraction of the cost., if you’re considering this guitar but you’re on the fence for some reason, get off the fence & burn it down with this beautiful guitar. ... show more
