As one of the
longest-running production models in history, the strength of the Tele® guitar
lies in its inherent simplicity. It’s been modified only slightly in its
40+-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 with its three-position switch*, brass bridge saddles and ashtray cover
(vintage six-saddle bridge included as an accessory), a single-ply Black
pickguard, master volume and master tone, and chrome hardware. Also available in
a left-handed model (010-0222). (*Modern wiring update kit and parts are
included).
