Reviews
Here's what Guitarist had to say about the American Special Series
- "It's put together with similar attention to detail [to its Strat counterpart] in that it's impossible to find a flaw in either construction or finish."
- "It's a 'buttery' playing experience whether you go for country bends or bluesy slurs and rock-style finger vibrato. In fact, it's so easy that you simply get on with the job in hand and forget about everything else."
- "Once again, Fender has focused its sights, aimed at the target and hit bullseye with its first shot. We'd like to see a more adventurous colour palette and better gig-bag, but otherwise we can't fault this guitar at this price point. 4/5 stars."

Here's what Fender say about the American Special Tele
Sharp, spanking Telecaster bite in the latest model of the one that started it all. Maple neck, brass bridge saddles and classic black pickguard make for a distinctively cool look. All at a price you won't believe
Gloss Urethane Finish
Beautiful and durable, it allows superior flexion and resonance allowing the wood to vibrate for improved tone.
High Mass Bridge Saddles
The Vintage-Correct "brass bar" bridge saddles provide that sought-after, iconic tone full of the ringing output and snap that makes the Telecaster famous.
Satin Neck Back
For smooth, effortless sliding up and down the neck - no "catching" or "sticking"
22 Frets
Extra fret allows the last note to be bent one full step to complete the second octave on the fretboard. Jumbo frets and a 9.5" radius for comfort and ease of playing.
