Greetings,

One of the current background images on Fender.com shows a Telecaster with what looks like a mahogany body, transparent cherry finish, and dual exposed-coil humbuckers.

It's the one on the lefthand side of these pictures:

Can anyone tell me what model of Telecaster this is?

Thanks!

I think its one of the TeleSoncis that may have been discontinued?

Thanks. Too bad it's discontinued. I'll have to see if I can turn one up used.

There's a current special edition custom that's spec'd pretty similar, mahogany body, dual humbuckers, but a more conventional Fender looking bridge. It does have a maple cap on it while the Telesonics were just mahogony. FWIW, the Telesonics were chambered.

It's clearly not an original Telesonic, which had single coil picups, different bridge and different looking tone and volume knobs. And I don't think Fender would advertise a discontinued model. So I'd guess it's an upcoming Tele / Telesonic model.

Cheers.
Matti
