Up for sale, a 2000 Fender American Deluxe Telecaster in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtags. A discontinued model, this is the original iteration of the American Deluxe Telecaster, produced from 1998-2004, featuring a pair of Vintage-Noiseless single coil pickups, a satin-finished Modern C neck profile, 22-fret slab rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, and a contoured alder body.

The Vintage-Noiseless single coil pickups are bright and snappy, with a smooth midrange character and more overall sonic heft than many Teles. Naturally, these pickups offer hum-free performance while still yielding vintage-centric Telecaster tones, with punchy twang at the bridge and a smooth, bell-like sweetness at the neck. This American Deluxe Telecaster weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
