THIS MODEL IS YOUR BASIC TELECASTER IN "BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDE" FINISH. IT WAS ONE OF THE 1ST COLORS EVER OFFERED IN THE TELECASTER AND STILL LOOKS GREAT. IF YOU ONLY GET TO HAVE ONE TELECASTER, IT SHOULD BE THIS COLOR. YOU CAN SEE THE WOOD GRAIN THROUGH THE FINISH. THIS MODEL WAS JUST BOUGHT IN 2013 AND WAS ONE OF FENDERS "FSR" SERIES (FACTORY SPECIAL RUN) ONLY A VERY FEW OF THESE WERE MADE. IT HAS A MAPLE NECK AND SPECIAL NOISELESS PICKUPS. IT IS A VERY EASY PLAYING AND LOAD GUITAR. IT WAS MADE IN MEXICO (MIM) AND THEIR QUALITY CONTROL IS ALOT BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE. I HAVE 3 OR 4 MIM MODELS AND THIS ONE PLAYS AND SOUNDS THE BEST.
