It's still listed in Fender's catalog, but the MIM Deluxe Blackout Telecaster is difficult to find anywhere in stock, though it can be ordered. Just curious, was there a problem with workmanship, sound, etc.? It certainly is a great looking guitar, and features three single-coil pickups, a five-position switch, and a 9.5" radius maple fretboard. I saw a couple of people complain that the stock pickup combinations did not include the classic neck/bridge Telecaster option, but that it was easily modified. Anyone have any info?

I have deluxe blackout tele i think it is one of the more underreated models in the catalogue. Its three single coild pups give it the strat feel but it still keeps its twany tone. Yes the five way switch is the same as the strat. I dont think the deluxe blackout was very heavily promoted haven't found a review if it anywhere. Personally i like the guitar.
