Lovies Guitars is offering up a Rare 1983 Fender USA Telecaster Elite Series in a Black Finish! The Fender Telecaster Elite Series was the top of the line range that was launched in 1983 and sadly was short lived as they were discontinued in 1984 when CBS sold Fender to the management buyout. Dan Smith said at the launch that the Telecaster Elite was aimed to pick up some of the Gibson players and make the into Fender players.
The body is made of premium grade Alder and is finished in black with white binding. The Elite Telecaster necks featured a Bi-flex truss rod, jumbo frets and a 12″ radius fretboard. The 12 inch radius and the soft “V” profile neck make this a very fast and easy to play instrument. The pickups are mini humbucking, noise-cancelling pickups with alnico 2 magnets, active TBX and MDX tone controls capable of creating fat humbucking and cutting single-coil sounds. The special tone circuit using the TBX and MDX (Tone bass expander and mid boost control) which can change the tone of the guitar while also functioning as part of a noise reduction system. The Elite Telecaster has a Gibson-style 3-way toggle switch and easy grip serrated rubber inserts on the knobs. The bridge is a heavy cast 6-saddle top-loading bridge which makes it easy to change strings. This Rare instrument is in Excellent Shape, Especially for its age, however, there is some play wear on the top where the pickguard would be, a few minor dimples and marks around the knobs and near bottom edge, a fair bit of micro marks on the back, the fretboard has some wear along the edges, easy 9/10! ALL Original-Includes a Hard-Shell Case! SEE more pics at our site!!!!!
