Fender is the undisputed number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, and Hotei Tomoyasu.
This model is the Empress Telecaster.
A limited edition model created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Telecaster's debut.
The body is made of paulownia wood, and the neck is maple.
The paulownia wood used for the body is extremely lightweight and soft, possessing properties that block moisture and heat. It is a wood commonly used in furniture and other items in Japan.
The neck shape is a Modern “C”, featuring medium jumbo frets and a slightly flat 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, making the playability aspects modern.
It is equipped with Hot Tele Single-Coil Pickups.
It produces a sound characterized by a crisp attack with excellent response.
Selecting the neck pickup yields a thick, mellow tone, while the bridge pickup delivers a sharp, powerful sound.
The bridge features a modern design with six individual saddles.
This allows for precise octave tuning on each string.
A rare model not commonly found.
