Personal Thoughts:
The American Deluxe Tele from this era is a real sweet spot in Fender's lineup—modern playability and innovation packed into a timeless Telecaster design. The 3-Color Sunburst finish paired with a maple neck gives this one a classic look, but under the hood it’s loaded with clever upgrades.
The N3 Noiseless pickups provide all the twang, snap, and spank you’d expect from a Tele—but without the hum. Add in the S-1 switch and No-Load tone control, and you’ve got a wide tonal range, from clean and chiming to thicker, more humbucker-like tones when needed.
Playability is top notch, with a comfortable modern C neck, medium jumbo frets, and rolled fingerboard edges. It’s the kind of guitar that feels familiar but refined—perfect for stage, studio, or home use.
Condition Report:
This 2009 American Deluxe Telecaster is in excellent condition, showing only light signs of use. A few small surface marks as expected for its age, but nothing noticeable or detracting from its appearance or playability. Frets are in great shape, and all electronics are fully functional.
Includes the original Fender molded hard case. A fantastic, feature-rich Tele that blends tradition with modern edge.
