Fender Limited Edition American Cabronita Special Telecaster Electric Guitar, Black

Fender is once again unleashing the Telecaster's "little devil" with a limited edition American Cabronita Special Telecaster electric guitar, an instrument sourced from over sixty years of innovation to meet the needs of the modern player. Bridging familiarity and evolution, the Cabronita offers comfort for the Tele fans and variance for the need-newers. Featuring alt-Tele tonal woods, neck improvements, and a mini-sized pickup swap, the answer is a resounding yes: this Cabronita is surely Special.

The Cabronita starts with a gloss lacquer finished mahogany body, offering a warmer, punchier tonality when compared to a traditional Tele. Continuing that sentiment, a mahogany neck has been implemented to double down on the tonal tweaks, and the "Super-Natural" satin finish and newly sculpted neck heel makes for one of the most comfortable and accessible plays found on a Telecaster. Affixed to the neck is a rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges, lined with 22 medium jumbo frets and white pearloid dot inlays to ensure all notes, chords, and slides are consistent, smooth, and pronounced.

To tame and maintain this musical outburst, Fender has implemented their 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge to sport easy adjustability and performance for the player who demands more from their instrument. In tandem with the bridge, Fender utilizes their standard cast/sealed staggered tuning machines for fast on-the-fly pitch and string changes, leading to more time to do what is important: playing the guitar.

Maybe the most "devilish" aspect of this Cabronita Special are the pickups—swapped for Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini Humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions to propel dynamics and offer clarity in the face of its pushed-hard potential. Roll back on the master volume knob to clean up the stunning sounds, or dig in fully for powerful, punchy, but never muddy riffs. By the way, Fender wants your trust with this one, and they have ours undoubtedly; the absence of a tone knob might seem perplexing, but the simplistic control scheme of pickup switch and volume knob will make perfect sense from the very first chord.

Outfitted with a Fender Deluxe Molded case, the American Cabronita Special Telecaster electric guitar yearns to be your next road companion.
