The other guitar that will be released by Fender in its electracoustic series is the Fender Telecoustic Deluxe, an acoustic replica of the Telecaster model with electric and acoustic pickups that can be used independently or together. Although being an acoustic model it features Telecaster’s neck and headstock.
The Fender Telecoustic Deluxe features laminated maple body with laminated spruce top, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 25.5″ scale length, Fender Rosewood with compensated saddle bridge, Fishman Classic IV MB preamp, one single-coil Telecaster pickup, built-in electronic tuner, volume, bass, mid, treble and blend (blends between the Telecaster and the Fishman pickups) controls.
This guitar is available in candy apple red and sunburst finishes. The price and availability of the Fender Telecoustic Deluxe has to be announced yet.
“Although its supposed to be the Telecaster replica model, this guitar features and Strato headstock.”
That definately looks like a Tele headstock to me.
Well, if you look to the specifications in the Fender’s website you can read Strat® Headstock in the Unique Features. But comparing to the Stratacoustic and Telecaster guitars it really looks like a Telecaster headstock.
I looked the Telecaster specifications and no word on headstock, so I don’t know if it’s a mistake or not.
I think it’s a mistake. The Telecoustic’s specs also mention that the body style is “Acoustic Stratocaster”, which it clearly isn’t. Perhaps someone just copy&pasted the information from the Stratacoustic’s specs and forgot to change these details?
Yes, that’s probably the best explanation, I will change the post.
