Hello,

I bought an Elite Telecaster which I really love!

The only thing is that I didn't receive a strap, and I was sure I read that while the American Pros don't come with straps anymore, that the Elites still did come with a strap. Some of the online reviews I have found said that they come with a nice leather strap.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thank you! 8)

Why, is it going to be different for Teles than it is for other Fender Elites? :roll:

So, question... did you buy this from a local store, or an online merchant?

I tend to not trust the stores to keep all the case candy IN the case. The larger online stores tend to not meddle with what the factory ships with each guitar.

however, the web site says nothing about a strap

That appears to be the case in this neck of the woods. I haven’t found any online either. My American Deluxe (Strat) was replaced by the Elite and did come with one whereas the Elites did not (Teles did the same); but, it was nothing special and, eventually, it ended up on my acoustic for now.

You can bet that if there is a strap included online, there would be mention of it being that it is a bonus. Perhaps, the store may be able to order stock with or without a strap, or stock may be transitional with earlier same year stock, or a store may simply include it or another. I really can’t say. As far as the dealer goes it’s pretty much a buyer beware.

In the end, nice if you get one, but you seldom have one included (my acoustic didn’t have one). It is unlikely going to be one that costs much to replace though, and that could be negotiable when the guitar is purchased. :wink:

^--- Exactly If you want a "good" strap, you need to pony up the dough! :)
