Fender Telecaster Deluxe 1974 – this model represents one of the most exciting development phases in the Fender range and combines classic Telecaster genes with a significantly expanded range of sounds. The Telecaster Deluxe was designed in the early 1970s as a further development of the traditional Telecaster and has a broader sound than the original single-coil models. <\/p>\n
The Fender Telecaster Deluxe 1974 is equipped with the Wide Range humbuckers developed by Seth Lover, which give it a more powerful, warmer and at the same time very clearly defined tone. In combination with the Les Paul-like electronics with two volume and two tone controls as well as the 3-way switch, an enormous variety of sounds is created. From transparent, wiry clean sounds to punchy, sustain-rich leads, this instrument covers a broad spectrum and is suitable for both studio and stage. <\/p>\n
Guitars from the 1970s are often underestimated, but it is precisely these types of guitars that show how much potential there is in this era. The Fender Telecaster Deluxe 1974 not only impresses with its unique sound, but also with its solid construction and the characteristic vintage vibe that has developed over the decades. <\/p>\n
This guitar has been professionally overhauled and optimally set up. It has been refretted with high-quality Jescar frets and a new bone nut. The fingerboard has also been reworked and repainted, creating an excellent basis for precise and comfortable playability. The string action is set flat and is 1.8 mm on the low E-string and 1.2 mm on the high E-string at the 12th fret – very comfortable and quick to play. <\/p>\n
The condition of the Fender Telecaster Deluxe 1974 is very good for its age. There are only moderate, age-appropriate signs of use. Apart from the work mentioned, the guitar is largely in its original condition and has been carefully maintained. <\/p>\n
In terms of sound, this instrument delivers exactly what you would expect from a Telecaster Deluxe: plenty of punch, clear definition, strong mids and excellent assertiveness in a band context. At the same time, the sound remains open and dynamic enough for sensitive playing. <\/p>\n
The guitar is supplied with a modern Fender tweed case.<\/p>\n
