Fender Limited Edition American Cabronita Special Telecaster Electric Guitar, Dakota Red

Fender has unleashed the Telecaster's "little devil" with a limited edition American Cabronita Special Telecaster electric guitar, an instrument forged from nearly sixty years of advancements to please the wishes of the modern player. Joining familiarity and evolution, the Cabronita supplies comfort for the Tele connoisseurs and variance for the innovatively inclined. Featuring alt-Tele tonal woods, neck improvements, and a mini-sized pickup swap, there's a lot more to this Cabronita that makes it superbly Special.

The Cabronita begins with a gloss lacquer finished mahogany body, supplying a warmer, punchier tone when squared up to a traditional Tele. Furthering the sentiment, a mahogany neck has been fastened to exude the revised bolder tone, and the "Super-Natural" satin finish and newly sculpted neck heel makes for one of the most comfortable and accessible playing experiences 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.

Fender keeps this sonic powerhouse under control with a 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge, designed for precise adjustment and reliable performance—perfect for players who expect more from their instrument. Paired with Fender’s cast/sealed staggered tuning machines, you get quick, hassle-free tuning and string changes, so you can spend less time adjusting and more time playing.

Perhaps the most "devilish" revision of this Cabronita Special are the pickups—switched to Seymour Duncan Vintage Mini Humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions to propel dynamics and lend clarity in the face of its hot-output potential. Ease back on the master volume knob to clean up the stunning sounds, or dig in fully for powerful, punchy, but never muddy riffs. In case you were wondering, Fender wants your full trust with this one, and they have ours undoubtedly; the absence of a tone knob might seem odd and maybe even concerning, but the simplistic control scheme of pickup switch and volume knob will make pitch-perfect sense from the first strum.

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