Here for sale we have a Fender Telecaster Plus in Transparent Red finish. While the Plus range is synonymous with the Stratocaster, a range of Telecasters were made but shortly discontinued. The Plus range introduced Fenders new Lace Sensor pickups. It is said the inspiration for the Plus series came from a call from Jeff Beck wanting a new Fender guitar for his Japan tour. Naturally, a bolt-on construction is employed, and comprises a solid Ash body, Maple neck and 22 fret Maple fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with 6 Saddle Through Body bridges and Fender Sealed tuning machines. This guitar features one Fender Blue Lace Sensor in the neck and a pair of Fender Red Lace Sensors in the bridge. These are wired to a 3 way toggle switch, master volume, master tone and 3 way mini switch for the bridge pickups. The Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘D’ profile allowing for easy fretting in any register and providing ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Maple fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 9.5” radius makes bending and vibrato techniques a breeze, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The Jumbo frets enhance vibrato techniques at speed whilst also providing a rock-solid and smooth playing experience. The trio of Fender Lace Sensor single-coil pickups installed in this guitar deliver traditional 50’s Stratocaster tones with a little extra sustain and power, while reducing the 60-cycle hum. The neck pickup is round and warm whilst retaining a punchy tone. The two bridge pickups deliver a searing humbucker output that sounds fat and punchy when combined using the mini switch, while the up position activates the front bridge pickup which creates an out of phase hollow sound and the down position activates the back pickup on the bridge to give a single coil sound which mimics that bright biting tone of a Telecaster bridge pickup.

Further lighter indentation is apparent around the perimeter of the headstock. Overall good condition, the finish to the rear of the neck has cracked, chipped and delaminated all along the skunk stripe. This is common with this model and can be seen on many others from this range. Further delamination and finish cracking is apparent surrounding the fingerboard fret markers, the fingerboard edge and the end of the fingerboard. Light indentation is apparent throughout the register of both the fingerboard and rear of the neck. Overall good condition, a notable chip with some finish touch up is apparent to the front edge lower bout which reveals the wood beneath. The sides and edges demonstrate further chipping and indentation around the perimeter, most notably to the treble side waist. Both the front and rear face demonstrate consistent light scratching and indentation, causing a hazing of the finish under direct lighting at certain angles. Condition of Frets: The frets demonstrate moderate signs of use, with light indentation in the early register and flattening of the crowns throughout. This does not affect playability. There is moderate material remaining for future fret work. Current Set Up: Truss Rod: Fully functional. Truss rod tool (1/8" hex) not included. Hardware: Fully functional with light signs of wear.
