1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster® guitar, which was then available in several new designs and with more options than ever before.
The ’72 Telecaster Deluxe features many of those options, including an alder or ash body (depending on finish), a C-shaped maple neck, bullet truss rod, ’70s vintage hardtail strings-through Strat® bridge, three-bolt neckplate, ’70s Strat headstock, two Wide Range humbucking pickups, traditional three-way switching and four skirted amp knobs.
