Product Description

If the Telecaster was created in an alternate universe, this might be the outcome. The Fender Cabronita is a US-made Tele, re-skinned in a glamorous finish with natural back and sides, as well as housing a pair of famous TV Jones Classic pickups. These are limited edition so you'd better snap one up before they're off the shelves!

Construction

Using classic Fender wood appointments, the Cabronita is made of an alder body and silky smooth deep 'C' shape maple neck. The gorgeous rosewood fingerboard contains tall, thin frets. All of this results in an incredibly easy-to-play package with a hint of vintage feel. As you'd expect from a US-made Fender, the construction quality is of the highest class. It's sure to last a lifetime of practice and gigging.

Sound

This is where the Cabronita comes into its own. In stark contrast to the standard American Tele's single coils, the Cabronita is equipped with two TV Jones Classic humbucker pickups. Keeping within the realms of '60s tone, Classics produce superb clarity while retaining the warmth of low output windings.

Hardware

The Cabronita is hard as nails. Although you might now want to put that to the test considering the limited edition finish! Nevertheless, you'll have no problems with intonation or tuning stability thanks to a combination of Fender's Classic Gear tuners, a bone nut and rock steady fixed bridge.

Awesome build and great sound. The TV Jones cut through nicely with enough grit to suit all playing. Sparkly gold looks amazing on a guitar that is just a little outside of normal.

At this price point I expected the Cabronita to be a good or even great guitar but even then it surpassed my expectations. It really is beautifully made with a lovely dark Rosewood board and neatly matched grain on the two piece body. But the pickups are really where is comes to life. I took a bit of a risk having never played the TV Jones pickups before but they sound fantastic. A perfect middle ground between a traditional humbucker and single coils. I've always found the bridge pickup to be too ice-picky when setting EQ for the neck on a Tele but that's not the case here. It really sings with tons of sustain. It's capable of a surprising range of tones too given the simple controls with the pickups being especially sensitive to playing dynamics.

Great guitar. TV jones pickups are excellent. Build is pretty good - neck is excellent with a lovely dark rosewood. Weight of the guitar is also brilliant , it’s pretty light which I like. Where it could be better is: 1) the pickguard is slightly misaligned, an easy fix; 2) the pickup switch was broken on delivery - fortunately Andertons quickly got fender to send me a replacement, which I fitted 3) I’m getting a little bit of choking on the high e around the 10th and 12th fret. So it will probably need a fret dress in the near future. Overall a keeper, but it’s not five stars because of the issues above. I would expect it to be faultless at this price. Come on fender. As with any guitar, I’d recommend playing them in person if you can. I did actually play this guitar at Andertons via an appointment. I also played a number of teles at the same time, including the blue version of this guitar. This gold top was a much better guitar. I went home without the guitar initially but thought about it overnight and then order it the next day! I’m glad I did. NB:The pickguard on the blue guitar was even more misaligned. Fender you really need to look at your QC!

What an amazing guitar. I've never found a Tele that was right for me. Loved the feel but couldn't get the sound I wanted. I also love the sound of a great Gretsch but never liked the look or feel. This beast is the perfect middle ground for me and I'm so happy with my purchase.
