The Fender USA FSR Telecaster Deluxe 1952 Reissue in Butterscotch is a rare, tone-packed take on a true classic that blends vintage Tele DNA with forward-thinking USA Deluxe features. This model pushes beyond a standard reissue. Its natural ash body with top binding delivers classic Tele snap and resonance, while adding a refined, upscale look. The natural gloss finish lets the grain shine through for that unmistakable vintage vibe.
Sonically, this guitar is incredibly versatile. Equipped with Fender Noiseless Tele single coils, it delivers all the clarity and twang you expect without the hum. The real magic is in the electronics: a custom neck pickup circuit recreates the legendary “Doghouse” tone of a pre‑baass ‘52 Tele—roll the tone down and it transforms into a deep, woody, almost upright-style voice that’s shockingly authentic. Paired with an S-1 switch and Greasebucket circuit, you get expanded tonal shaping without losing highs, plus a notched tone pot with treble bleed for consistent clarity at any volume.
The one-piece maple neck offers that classic Tele feel, while modern refinements make it smooth, stable, and gig-ready. Finished with a 60th Anniversary medallion on the headstock, this piece carries both historical nod and collector appeal.
This Tele is a versatile, rare FSR build that captures vintage soul while offering modern control and flexibility.
