Description
The Elite Series, introduced in 1983, is an attractive model that inherits traditional specifications while incorporating new features, and it can be said to have had a significant influence on guitars and basses that followed. It's a series that's included in the lineup of all major models and has many fans.

This time, we have the 'Elite Telecaster,' a version of the Telecaster. It's a model that was one of the first to incorporate Fender's unique circuits, such as the Active Boost circuit and TBX control, which are now familiar to many.

【body】
The total weight is approximately 4.55 kg. The body is made of ash. The creamy white color, combined with the white body binding, plastic parts, and silver hardware, gives it a very cool look. There is some age-appropriate weather checking around the neck joint and on the back of the body, as well as some dents mainly on the body end and some tarnishing on the parts, but overall it is in relatively good condition.

【neck】
The neck is made of maple, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. There are some areas where the skunk stripe weather checking has been touched up with clear coat to prevent it from catching on your fingers, some dents around the headstock, and some tarnishing on the metal parts, but like the body, it is in relatively good condition. The tuners are Rotomatic type with the Fender logo, and they function well with little variation in winding. The frets and nut show no extreme wear, and playability is good. The headstock thickness is 14.0mm. The nut width is 43.7mm. It features a thin neck shape.

[Electrical System]
The controls consist of a 3-way pickup selector, front (neck) pickup volume, rear (bridge) pickup volume, preamp boost, and TBX tone control. This model features two Alnico II magnet noise-canceling pickups. The control components are in their original condition.

While retaining the distinctive Telecaster character, this guitar boasts low noise and the warm humbucker sound characteristic of Alnico II magnets. The combination of active boost and TBX control allows for a wide range of tones, from a rich, glossy clean tone to a thick, yet not overpowering, drive when boosted. It's a true example of the Elite series' fusion of tradition and modernity.
