About the Fender American Special Telecaster
The American Special Telecaster is a US Tele made at Fender's Corona, California plant and now discontinued. It has an alder body in gloss urethane and a maple neck with a modern C profile and a satin urethane back, with a maple or rosewood board, a 9.5 inch radius, 22 jumbo frets, a 25.5 inch scale and a 42.8 mm (1 11/16 inch) synthetic bone nut. Two Custom Shop Texas Special single coils run through a three-way switch, master volume and a Greasebucket tone control, which cuts treble without adding bass. The bridge is the vintage-style ashtray type with three brass barrel saddles and strings through the body. The headstock carries a large '70s-style decal, and maple boards have black dots.
Most have a three-ply black pickguard, but Lake Placid Blue and Sherwood Green ones came with a mint green guard. The two digits after US in the serial give the year, so a 2013 one reads US13. Weighed examples come in at about 7.2 to 8.4 lb (3.3 to 3.8 kg), and measured necks are about 0.82 to 0.85 inch deep at the first fret and 0.87 to 0.90 inch at the 12th. It came new in a Fender deluxe gig bag with its papers and case candy. Replacement pickups and a different pickguard are the usual changes, sometimes new saddles or tuners; ask which originals come with it. Colors include 3-Color Sunburst, Vintage Blonde, Olympic White and Lake Placid Blue, plus metallic Sherwood Green and Autumn Blaze.
