About the Fender American Elite Telecaster
The American Elite Telecaster is the US-made Tele of Fender's American Elite line, which followed the American Deluxe series and was replaced by the American Ultra. It was introduced for the 2016 model year, and the earliest examples carry 2015 serials or 2015 dates on the neck and body. The body is alder, or ash on Butterscotch Blonde and Tobacco Sunburst, with a bound top edge (white on most colors, black on Butterscotch Blonde) and a belly contour. Weighed examples come in at about 7.3 to 8.8 lb (3.3 to 4.0 kg).
The neck goes from a modern C at the nut to a D at the heel, with a satin back and a 9.5 to 14 inch compound radius board; most boards are maple or rosewood, some ebony. The truss rod adjusts with a wheel at the heel end, and the heel is cut away for upper-fret reach. Two fourth-generation Noiseless single coils, made only for this series, share a three-way switch, master volume and no-load tone; the S-1 push button on the volume knob puts them in series in the middle position. Tuners are locking. It comes in a molded case with TSA locks, strap locks, a leather strap, a 10 foot cable and wrenches. Replacement pickups are the usual change, often with the factory set included, so ask what is original. Colors include Aged Cherry Burst, Autumn Blaze Metallic, Ocean Turquoise and a satin Jade Pearl Metallic.
