It took them awhile to offer an affordable version:http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products...tno=0140072306

Fidelitron pickups, can't ind any specs online. They're lookers for sure

Acoustotron · July 2nd, 2012, 11:47 PM

How much? I find no dealers listed within 500 miles from central Oklahoma. Distributors listed are from all over except the U.S..

BigDaddyLH · July 3rd, 2012, 01:08 AM

Fidelitron? Cabronita O Muerta?

Tele-b-blaster · July 3rd, 2012, 01:29 AM

Seller on eBay has them for $599 including free shipping .

66Satellite · July 3rd, 2012, 01:29 AM

And I thought I'd finally narrowed down the guitar I was gonna buy. MIM? Also curious on the price...

Ok, so maybe less at GC? And now I assume MIM. Or Chinese?

Well it had to happen with so many builds going on. I love mine and it's the best Tele variation that fender have come up recently. I suspect they'll sell very well, assuming the pup delivers.

Kimmo · July 3rd, 2012, 03:20 AM

Looking forward to hear reports on this one.

oramac7891 · July 3rd, 2012, 03:25 AM

Nice

Lawson · July 3rd, 2012, 03:53 AM

Sunburst looks killer

jklotz · July 3rd, 2012, 07:05 AM

Ironically, I await the parts for my la cab build, as I wanted one badly but couldn't afford the MIA asking price. Oh well, at least mine will be lacquer, have a tv jones single pup, a 3 saddle cut bridge and a parchment pickguard. Funny how the neck I found on ebay is a MIM.

I agree, if the pups don't suck, this should be a good seller for fender

Calmac69 · July 3rd, 2012, 08:09 AM

The Word is out......

I am I going mad.....I'm counting 22 frets ? And controls say master tone & volume, push / pull ? Maybe not 100% accurate at this stage.

Also with Fender owning Gretch I wonder if these are just re-branded Gretch Filtertrons ? I had those in my Black Falcon and I thought they were great. Cool that they didn't go with the big oversize semi look-alikes in the Gretch Electromatic guitars.

A guitar with a lot more attitude, the Cabronita Telecaster rocks a highly distinctive take on a classic design and spits out fiery, full-voiced Tele tone from two sharp new Fideli’Tron™ humbucking pickups. Other premium features include an alder body (ash on White Blonde model), comfortable modern C-shaped maple neck with a 9.5” radius and 21 medium jumbo frets, single-ply pickguard and single control knob (volume), and a string-through-body hardtail bridge with six cast saddles. Available in Three-color-Sunburst, Black and White Blonde.

JCBurke59 · July 3rd, 2012, 08:24 AM

Hmmm.

Specs say master volume, master tone, 3-Position Blade switch, cast saddles.
The pictures don't seem to agree with that.
Do we have another 'cut and paste' specs situation?

I shouldn't sound so critical - glad that they've come in at a more affordabe price point.
I'd like to try one out.

tildeslash · July 3rd, 2012, 09:44 AM

Are these MIM?

Doth · July 3rd, 2012, 10:08 AM

They have all three at Guitar Showcase in San Jose. All three are MIM. The white one is Ash and has a $50 or $75 premium. Street was $599 for the black and burst.

They all seemed pretty well put together.

Vonduck · July 3rd, 2012, 10:43 AM

I'm wondering if those are just a set of re-cased GretschBuckers....
Still, pretty sweet that they're making a nice affordable version.
Would be easy to throw a set of TVs in there and still come out pretty reasonable on price

I think I would have to opt for the White Blonde in ash

JohnK24 · July 3rd, 2012, 10:54 AM

CRAP !!!!!!!! I thought I wanted a stratocaster next....I love this concept on MIM Cabronita's

Maybe they'll do a MIM Road Worn John Mayer Black 1 model and my dreams will be answered ?!?!

Racer5 · July 3rd, 2012, 11:00 AM

This is just what I said would happen!

plroad21 · July 3rd, 2012, 11:32 AM

yeah, i was pretty excited until i found out they weren't real filtertrons. then i lost all interest.

chipbutty24 · July 3rd, 2012, 12:11 PM

Nice!

Hope they come out with a single pup version. The only thing that concerns me is the neck. YMMV but I'm never played a MIM neck that I thought was very good.
