Fender American Elite Guitars

The Fender American Elite Guitars and Basses are a new range taking over from the American Deluxe Series. Get traditional designs with modern appointments.

The Fender American Elite Series is a brand new range of models that take over from where the now discontinued American Deluxe line left off.

Delivering traditional style with a selection of great modern features, this new range of guitars (and basses) is sure to please players requiring supreme playability, tone and feel all within those classic 'lines' of Fender.

Both the Fender American Elite Stratocasters and American Elite Telecasters features the brand new 4th generation Fender Noiseless pickups. Perfect for stage and studio, these pickups deliver a quantum leap in pickup design and excel in producing vintage style tones with that all important noise-free performance. A Shawbucker HSS Elite Strat is also available, coming loaded with a specially designed (by Tim Shaw) humbucker at the bridge in conjunction with the 4th gen Noiseless pickups in the middle and neck position.

Also new for the Elite guitars is a compound neck. Designed for players requiring fast playing and effortless position changes. The neck is carved with a modern C shape at the nut which transforms into a modern D shaped profile at the heel.

The Fender American Elite series are designed for players who want to push the envelope. A range of guitars that take their heritage and boost them with an array of contemporary appointments.
