A short run, discontinued model finished in Sonic Gray, this Telecaster Deluxe features the traditional tonewood complement comprising an alder body, maple neck and thick slab 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, ensuring a balanced, articulate platform with both spank and inherent warmth, qualities channeled through the pair of Shawbucker humbuckers.\n\nUnlike the oversized Wide Range humbuckers utilizes in the original Tele Deluxe from the '70s, this American Profiessional model features \"normal\" humbucker-sized Shawbuckers, each with a Fender-embossed cover. Designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw (who engineered some of Gibson's most celebrated PAF reissues, now colloquially known by the \"Tim Shaw\" moniker), these pickups are warm-sounding and sensitive to picking dynamics with a gritty, aggressive quality when pushed. Each selection on the three-way pickup switch is distinct, and the onboard treble bleed circuit ensures ideal treble response and clarity when rolling down each humbucker's respective Volume knob. This Telecaster Deluxe weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with spot-on intonation, 10-46 strings, and slinky action.\n\nThe neck has a slender C profile carve with modest shoulder and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .825\" deep at the 1st fret and .915\" at the 12th. The thick slab rosewood fingerboard is a particularly dark cut of this tonewood, retaining the factory medium jumbo frets which are nigh flawless. Notes ring out clearly up the 25 1\/2\" scale, and the fretboard has a modern 9 1\/2\" radius. The nut measures a full 1 11\/16\" in width, and the headstock is fitted with Schaller-made and Fender-branded chrome tuning machines which turn smoothly.\n\nAll of the electronics function as intended, with dedicated Volume and Tone knobs for each Shawbucker, topped with black witch hat knobs. The six-saddle bridge shows surface patina across the saddles, while the bridge base retains its gleaming chrome plating, and a three-ply parchment pickguard rounds things out, showing a bit of requisite pick scuffing on the treble side of the guard. Cosmetic wear on the Sonic Gray gloss finish is limited to a concentration of light finish scratches in the clear coat adjacent to the string ferrules on the back, while the satin-finished neck profile is flawless.\n\nThe original heavy-duty molded Fender hardshell case is included, along with the original hangtags.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40122663829690,"sku":"US17052198","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_62b11eef-e4da-4d49-98ee-a392a7e0c053.jpg?v=1751533812","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2017-fender-american-professional-telecaster-deluxe-shawbucker-sonic-gray-near-mint-w-case-hangtags","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
