The Fender American Elite Telecaster EB OCT Ocean Turquoise is a six-string electric guitar featuring an alder body, a maple neck, a maple fingerboard, and an ocean turquoise finish. The American Elite Telecaster is designed for modern players who want cutting-edge performance with a timeless visual style. This Tele offers an easy playing feel and flexible sound made for the stage and studio.
Featured exclusively on American Elite instruments, fourth generation Noiseless pickups represent an authentic, vintage-style sound with noise-free performance, delivering sparkling cleans and fat, overdriven tones. Locking short-post tuning machines provide increased break angle at the synthetic bone nut for buzz-free performance.
Engineered for fast playing and effortless position changes, the compound profile neck with a 9.5”-14” compound radius fingerboard is ideal for all playing styles. A modern “C”-shape at the nut, the profile morphs along the length of the neck to a modern “D”-shaped profile at the updated neck heel, providing plenty of comfortable support for fret hand antics. The truss rod wheel is positioned at the butt end of the neck for easy accessibility when adjusting neck relief. Each American Elite Telecaste includes a redesigned Elite Molded Case with TSA locks.

Its hard to know where to begin reviewing a guitar like this .
For the past few years ive been playing an old , mid price fender strat . Finally after a long time considering a new , high end purchase , i decided on the Ash body elite telecaster . Immediately what i noticed is that every aspect of this guitar is designed for the professional player . You truly dont understand how great a compound D-C neck feels until you play one . On the same note i believe that the G4 noiseless pickups are the best fender have ever made . You get fat blues/jazz sound from the neck pup and truly vintage twangy tone from the bridge pup . And not to mention that these pickups are DEAD QUIET . Because of the locking tuners also , i cant remember playing a guitar that stays in tune like this without some kind of locking trem . Through out an entire live show , i may have to tweak a string once . For me being a very heavy handed player , this was very surprising .
You can always find people making fun online about how fender release new guitars with progressively higher prices , and ill admit i was skeptical in the past about the american deluxe series . However i really believe that any doubter who plays one of these will see the value of all the small tweaks and improvements fender have made . It makes me confident that i will play this guitar for the rest of my life .
Beautifully made and perfectly set up, this instrument remains faithful to the original masterpiece of industrial and musical design which is the Fender Telecaster. It incorporates a host of unobtrusive improvements: easy truss rod adjuster, a 22nd fret, a fully-intonatable bridge, locking tuners, the series/parallel S1 switch, the comfort body profiling, the convenient and elegantly-reshaped heel, and the noiseless pickups. A joy to play and a delight to the ear, it's an instrument to treasure.
