The Guitar that started a revolution — the Fender Telecaster (previously known as the esquire) It basically started it all. From humble beginnings came this elegantly simple new electric guitar that let musicians be heard loud and clear with sparkling tone and distinctive style. The U.S.-made American Vintage ’52 Telecaster puts that original-instrument magic in your hands, built using original tooling and based on actual 1952 models.

Now available at our shop in Sliema, Malta is this Limited Edition Roasted Ash finished, American Vintage Telecaster ... 1 of 200 only made by Fender. The thin, natural finish allows the guitar to resonate and unleash even more of that classic Tele tones and twangs. Also featuring the 52 reissue U shaped chuncky neck. It is found in great condition, with marks of use, but nothing major worth noting of. It also comes including the original hardcase and certificates. 
 
Here's what fender have to say about it. 
The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage '52 Roasted Ash Telecaster is a very special interpretation of the legendary electric guitar with a remarkable selection of wood. Only thermally treated woods in the form of ash and maple are used for the body and neck, whereby the typical playing comfort is guaranteed. On the amplifier, two Fender American Vintage single coil pickups deliver the crisp Tele-Twang of country, blues and rock with its unmistakable acoustic stamp. Last but not least, the Fender American Vintage '52 Roasted Ash Telecaster offers the classic hardware equipment in the form of 3-Saddle American Vintage Telecaster bridge and Deluxe Vintage Style tuners.
 
Roasted Ash and Roasted Maple
The body and neck of Fender American Vintage '52 Roasted Ash Telecaster are made of thermally treated ash and maple. By "baking" in a vacuum, Roasted Ash and Roasted Maple lose a large part of their residual moisture and thus become insensitive to climate fluctuations. At the same time, the acoustic response of the woods is sharpened, giving the electric guitar a lively, extremely dynamic sound. The medium"U" neck profile also provides the classic playing feeling.
 
American Vintage '52 Single Coil Pickups
The Fender Limited Edition American Vintage '52 Roasted Ash Telecaster is equipped with two Fender American Vintage '52 Tele Single Coil Pickups. Accordingly, the electric guitar on the amplifier delivers the typical Telecaster sound with explosive twang and brilliant sound development, which gives riffs and licks between country, blues and rock an enormous assertiveness. The typical Telecaster circuit with 3-way blade switches as well as general volume and tone controls can be used to call up versatile tones for expressive electric guitar playing.
 
Authentic hardware in vintage style
Last but not least, the Fender Limited Edition American Vintage '52 Roasted Ash Telecaster features high-quality hardware in authentic vintage style. On the body, the Fender 3-Saddle American Vintage Tele bridge with string guidance through the body contributes to the typical Twang, whereby three double string riders ensure a clean adjustment of intonation and string position. In addition, a bone saddle and six Fender Deluxe Vintage Style tuners on the headstock ensure precise tuning.
 
About Fender FSR and Limited Editions
Fender FSR and Limited Editions are odd-balls, eccentrics and loners. They are made in Fender’s American, Mexican and Japanese factories.
These are special batches of guitars which are only available in tiny quantities. They are an opportunity for Fender to experiment with colours, specs and designs without the obligation to make them a fully-fledged production model. This means that these guitars tend to be exciting, original and fun.
FSR and Limited Editions might also be commemorative, anniversary models. These models are rare and collectable.
 
There is also the opportunity for retailers, like guitarguitar, to create custom models. When given this chance, we try to ensure that these guitars are exceptional value for money. We often upgrade specs to include superior pickups, hardware and woods as well as fun, non-standard colours.
