As one of the longest-running production models
in history, the Tele's strength lies in its inherent simplicity. It's been modified only slightly in its 40-plus year tenure. The '52 integrates a premium Ash body with a one-piece "U" shaped Maple neck and a 7.25" radius fingerboard. It features the original Tele circuit for its three-position switch*, original vintage Tele bridge with ashtray bridge cover (vintage 6-saddle bridge included as an accessory), a single-ply Black pickguard, master volume and master tone, and chrome hardware and Brass saddles. Shown at right in Butterscotch Blonde. (*Modern wiring update kit and parts are included.).
