American Deluxe Ash Tele - Butterscotch Blonde
 This product is no longer available.
Tone. Tradition. Innovation. Fender's new American Deluxe Telecaster Ash is the 21st century way to rock, Tele style, graced by the added distinction of a traditional ash body. New, compound radius fretboard allows effortless string bending anywhere along the neck and staggered, locking tuners improve tuning stability for stunt guitarists who like to bend behind the nut. New, N3 noiseless pickups provide improved Telecaster tones for snappy, bell-like chime with no hum. Other features include S-1 switching and chromed brass bridge.

Of all the telecasters I own, this one gets the most attention. It is an absolute joy to play. Some people knock the 6-saddle bridge, locking tuners and S-1 switching when looking for a vintage styled tele. I prefer perfect intonation, and tonal variability. If this one was available 40 odd years ago I imagine that it would be Keith Richards mainstay guitar.

I've owned roughly 15 telecasters over the years, most were Squiers; MIM's; Hwy 1's, a few custom builds and an '86 MIJ (still have that one). This Deluxe telecaster does everything the others did and more. While I do not really use the S-1 switch as it is set (will likely pop in a 4-way selector for more tonal options), this one is the only telecaster that I did not feel needed to be modded out with new pups or tuners. The N3 pickups are very quiet, and the tuners are top notch. Fender hit a home run on this one. The only improvement would be a nitro finish, but the urethane is really sweet, and the compound radius neck is a joy to play.

American Deluxe Telecaster is the 21st century way to rock. Premium ash one piece body. Compound radius (9.5"-14" ) fretboard allows string bending anywhere along the neck, staggered locking tuners improve tuning stability, N3 Noiseless pickups improve Telecaster tones for snappy bell-like chime with no hum; S-1 switching gives extra dimension to sound. Like to play it at home, in studio, and on stage. I feel sorry for those who don't get a chance to play it due to it's top of the line cost which I pay without hesitation. Because the Telecaster has no tremolo bridge like a Strat, players like Jim Campilongo use a vintage Fender amp with vibrato, and Hocus Pocus, Abra Cah Dabra, you can have the effect with a stay in tune bridge of the iconic Telecaster. The new mods such as the belly cut and the six piece bridge make the new Telecaster a favourite for Stratocaster lovers because now you have playing comfort and pinpoint accuracy of intonation on the Telecaster platform. Now is the time for Stratocaster lovers to check out the magic of the Telecaster. One thing is for sure, once you start playing this Telecaster, you won't want to put it down. It sings, it screams, it delivers, all night long. This Telecaster is also phenomenally beautiful, Butterscotch Blonde with maple neck.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
