Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster Butterscotch Blonde (Pre-Owned)

Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster – Butterscotch Blonde

A modern classic with vintage soul, the Fender American Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster combines the unmistakable look of the original Blackguard Tele with a host of carefully chosen upgrades for today's player. Finished in timeless Butterscotch Blonde with a thin-skin nitrocellulose lacquer, it delivers all the character of a vintage '52 Tele while offering enhanced playability and a broader tonal palette.

Built in Corona, California, the Hot Rod '52 features a lightweight ash body and a substantial one-piece maple neck with a comfortable 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets. A Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini Humbucker in the neck provides warm, articulate tones with excellent clarity, perfectly complementing the classic American Vintage '52 Tele bridge pickup, which delivers the unmistakable snap, twang and bite that has made the Telecaster a legend.
