Fender American Standard Telecaster 60th Anniversary in 3-Color Sunburst, USED

The Fender American Standard Telecaster 60th Anniversary in 3-Color Sunburst is a celebration of one of the most iconic electric guitars in history. Released in 2011 to mark six decades of the Telecaster, this limited-edition model retains the classic design that has made the Tele a staple in music for generations, while incorporating modern upgrades for improved playability and tone. The 3-color sunburst finish, with its smooth gradient from black to red to yellow, pays homage to vintage Fender aesthetics, giving the guitar a timeless, classic look that appeals to both players and collectors.

Built with a solid alder body, the American Standard Telecaster offers a balanced, resonant tone with tight lows, punchy mids, and bright, cutting highs. Alder has long been a favored tonewood for Fender, providing a versatile sound that works across a variety of genres, from country and rock to blues and pop. This model is equipped with two Custom Shop Twisted Tele single-coil pickups, which deliver the signature Telecaster twang with enhanced clarity and warmth, allowing for crisp cleans, biting leads, and smooth overdriven tones. The pickups’ vintage-voiced sound is complemented by modern circuitry, giving the guitar both retro charm and contemporary versatility.

The guitar’s maple neck features a modern "C"-shaped profile, designed for comfortable playability across all positions. The satin finish on the back of the neck allows for smooth movement, while the maple fingerboard provides a snappy, responsive feel. The 9.5-inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets make bending notes and playing fast leads effortless, blending vintage style with modern ergonomics. The guitar’s classic 25.5-inch scale length maintains the bright, articulate sound that Telecasters are known for.

The hardware on the 60th Anniversary Telecaster is of the highest quality, with a 6-saddle American Standard bridge and bent steel saddles, providing excellent sustain and intonation. The staggered tuning machines improve tuning stability, while the molded case and commemorative 60th Anniversary neck plate add a special touch to this limited-edition model. The Fender American Standard Telecaster 60th Anniversary in 3-Color Sunburst is a perfect blend of vintage style and modern playability, offering players a piece of Fender history with the performance to match.
