Description

Stunning rich finishes, cream body / neck binding, and contemporary features differentiates this Fender Set Neck Tele FMT electric guitar apart from many of the traditional Fender Telecasters built since the 1950�s. While the coil splitting volume pot allows for traditional Telecaster � tones Fender is known for, this Fender Set Neck Custom Telecaster FMT covers many more tonal landscapes. This Set Neck Tele easily recreates tones found in genres from Rock, Pop, Metal, Alternative, Hard Core, Disco, Gospel, Hip Hop, Soul, Blues, Funk, Southern Rock, and even Country (and Western). Many various construction methods and ingredients including the Indian Laurel fingerboard mahogany neck glued into a mahogany body with a carved flamed maple top and string through body lend to the deep rich tones and notes that are able to sustain for �days�. The 2 USA made Seymour Duncan� Humbucker�s are wired in series for maximum thick compressed output associated. However, the volume knob also doubles as a switch to allow the 2 Humbucker�s to sound similar to a snappy single coil pickup more associated with the Fender Telecaster. The 22 jumbo metal frets, flat Indian Laurel fingerboard radius, �C� shaped neck, belly cut bevel in the back of the mahogany body allow for comfortable chording, expressive bends while and smooth fit when sitting or using a strap. The large skinny neck strap buttons ensure that your strap stays on your guitar during even the most expressive performances. Buy with confidences as Fender�s long history as the leader in musical instruments for all levels of musicians from recording studios to the largest of stages. Countless recordings since the 1950�s use Fender instruments to create songs. This Fender Telecaster will provide decades of enjoyment and may even be used for the next hit song!

    • So Glad I Decided To Buy This Guitar
Color: Amber
I received this amber colored Fender Special Edition Custom Tele FMT HH from Amazon a couple of days ago. I must admit, I was a little nervous buying a relatively expensive guitar online and sight-unseen. So, needless to say, I went over it with a fine tooth comb when it finally arrived. And I must tell tell you, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. The finish on the one I got was beautiful and flawless, back and front, from the headstock on down. The flame maple top looks really nice to me and the cream edging around the top , and the neck as well, really enhances its good looks. The wood in the fretboard looks a nice dark color and the abalone fret markers on the fretboard look nice also. I could see where in certain lighting conditions these markers might be a little hard to see, but I would be saved by the easily seen black fret markers on the light cream edging alone the neck. The hardware on the guitar is kind of metallic black looking to me and works well with the black Seymour Duncan pups. I was also surprised at how well my was set-up right out of the box. I let it acclimate to room temperature, plugged it in and gave it a spin. Of course it needed tuning, but to my surprise it was not very far out of tune. I visually checked the neck and it looked straight and the Truss Rod needed no adjusting as the very slight concave that was already dialed in was perfect for me. The action was low, just as i like it, and with no fret buzzing, huurah! I also checked for dead frets and didn't find any. The intonation as set up was slightly off, but pretty darn good for out of the box! I'll adjust that later. So I am thinking someone took their time to set this guitar up nicely before it left the factory, and it held together pretty good on the long trip to finally get to me. Now, the best part was plugging it in and finally playing it! Those Seymour Duncan Humbuckers lived up to their reputation and sounded GREAT! I l already love playing this guitar! It sounds good sand feels good in my hands. I will note that I did find one thing I would like to change. The saddle adjustment screws stick up a little bit too far for my liking and feel a little sharp on the palm. Will look for some shorter ones. Overall, I am very pleased with this guitar thus far and think it was a good deal for the money. ... show more

Absolutely Exquisite Guitar. Seymour Duncan Humbucker coil pickups can split to single coil. Light solid set-neck every note up to low-E palm grab easily playable, light mahogany body projects crisp clean personality. Compared to PRS SE DGT and Gibson Les Paul Studio Smokehouse both I desperately want and Fender Tele FMT beats for sound and playability subjective I know and price. Occasionally I want trem bar to bend on open string still wanting PRS SE DGT that unless is a screaming deal the Fender Tele FMT is a better in my opinion. PRS DE DGT comlare well to and also a gem. Fender Tele FMT is a perfect guitar. ... show more

    • It’s hard to put it down
Color: Black Cherry Burst
Many reviews I read had packaging issues, I was a little concerned but I can tell you that my Fender special edition custom guitar was packed perfectly, it arrived much earlier than expected & in perfect condition, I haven’t found a single flaw. I only have my USA made Fender Telecaster to compare it to, this is not your father’s Telecaster, the humbuckers are sizzling hot, more sustain that I ever thought possible. This guitar is really fun to play, the action seems great, quite lower than my other guitars so it feels like a shredder, I’m very happy with the guitar, the transaction & shipping. This guitar wants to ROCK which is great although I need my clean tone as much as my dirty tone because I use a wide variety of pedals, these pickups are hotter than I expected, on my cleanest settings, the tone was still breaking up a bit however it sounds really good, I’m sure this guitar has many sweet spots & I enjoyed playing it so much I haven’t experimented with the pick up toggle yet. If you are a Jazz guitarist, there are guitars that are better suited for Jazz, this guitar although I’m sure Jazz could be played on this guitar just fine, but it will be Jazz with a bad attitude, it doesn’t sound like a classic Telecaster, to me it sounds more like a Gibson Les Paul but or a fraction of the cost., if you’re considering this guitar but you’re on the fence for some reason, get off the fence & burn it down with this beautiful guitar. ... show more

Review Image by Rue
What can I say, it's a Fender. I have owned a Fender Strat for decades and I have always thought Telecasters to be more suited as 'Country' guitars. Shame on me, this baby ROCKS. I must admit, I was a little hesitant at the thought of spending so much money on a mail order and specially about having such a package sitting on my front doorstep. Amazon's history of delivery and brilliant customer service prevailed and I went ahead with the purchase and am I so glad I did. Firstly the delivery schedule and service was impeccable, although I was shocked to see the precious cargo box being delivered by my regular mail man ( yes I was waiting at the window all day LOL). Kudos to Amazon for keeping our USPS busy and and for our trusted USPS for being just as good (if not better) as the tough competition. As for the contents in the box, well I am still drooling over it and kicking myself for not buying one sooner. The finish is just stunning as is the sound and playability, I could go on and on. In short, a flawless transaction with a brilliant trusted brand name product. The only thing that could have made this beautiful axe any better would be a 'Made in America' stamp on the back, oh well, maybe one day ay. Top marks here. Thanks Fender, Amazon and USPS. ... show more

    • Superb value, versatile guitar, a joy to play after a good setup
Color: Amber
Experienced player and hobby luthier/guitar tech/hotrodder here. I was looking for my go-to guitar when writing and recording demos for my band, and wanted something very lightweight and versatile. I love Strandbergs, but they're the wrong vibe for what I'm doing these days, and I wanted something a little more traditional. Always loved Telecasters, but the traditional pickups don't cover the territory I want. So I took a chance on the Tele FMT HH, and I'm very happy I did: as many have said, it's a guitar that can cover a lot of terrain, whether it's clean single-coil sparkle, bluesy grit, or hard rock. (I'd stop short of modern metal -- a Duncan Pearly Gates isn't going to get you there -- but you could always drop in a Black Winter :-D) Ergonomics are just the way I like: flattish radius, reasonably thin neck, and a very lightweight instrument. Fit and finish on this one were pretty good, which is what I'd expect from an Indonesian-made Fender. The flame maple is not bad at all for the price point, the cream binding is a nicely upmarket touch. A few tiny finish irregularities, etc. Hardware is decent -- the tuners are smooth and affirmative, I didn't notice any backlash or slop. Electronics seem fine. I'm not in love with the Pearly Gates -- top end seems a bit harsh -- and am tempted to drop in a Duncan Pegasus, but that's just personal taste. And now, the bad news: the setup was not up to par for what I've come to expect from an Asian factory guitar at this price point. There was way too much relief in the neck, the action was comically high, the low E string nut slot was cut too shallow, and the frets, while not rough, had visible vertical sandpaper grit marks from the final pass of the sanding beam they'd received -- I'd guess somewhere in the 600-800 grit region. And, like I said, they felt reasonably smooth -- it's not like they were scraping horribly against the strings when you'd bend 'em. But they definitely felt a bit draggy or sticky on bends. So, I took about a mm of relief out of the neck, lowered the saddles nearly two turns, finished the fret polishing with 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 3000 grit, and then a couple grades of 3M Zona polishing paper. If you've never played a guitar that's had frets polished to this extent, and you do much string bending or finger vibrato -- it's totally worth the time and effort. Restrung with Elixirs, checked the intonation (which was okay) and had a really superb guitar. Now it plays like a dream. Even with the setup issues, this guitar is a tremendous value at around a thousand US dollars. Just be prepared to drop another hundred or so at your local tech if you aren't doing the setup yourself. (Mind you, I would suggest this for ANY guitar under two grand. It is absolutely astonishing what a good setup can do -- and how easily a poor setup can make a great guitar feel like a disaster.) ... show more

    • Great sounding guitar
Color: Black Cherry Burst
So glad I bought this guitar. A Tele with Seymour Duncan pickups? Are you kidding me? It sounds amazing. Clear notes even at high gain. Right out of the box plays great. No set up needed. Stays in tune. If you are worried about ordering a guitar through Amazon, don't be. They come straight from the manufacture just like any other large online music store you order from. ... show more

    • Good guitar but not exceptional.
Color: Crimson Red Transparent
I like the shape and color of this Fender model and the pickups but it was not set with the right strings so it’s a bit hard on fingers. It is not a Strat quality but is bery playable when properly setup.

    • Excellent Tele—perfect variances
Color: Amber
Functionality—this guitar has high quality double humbuckers that dissociate into crisp single coils with a lift of the tone knob. The guitar is beveled all the way around in all the right places and proportions. Its very comfortable and delightfully light. The top is stunningly gorgeous and very closely resembles the one on the Amazon ad. Mine areived fairly well set up. Action hight was nice and low. I did have to adjust the intonation. The only reason It is not my primary Tele is that I keep it hung up so I wont scratch it. Probably the best value of all my guitars—and I have quite a few. I recommend this guitar without reservation. For the price you cant beat it. ... show more
