2012 Fender James Burton Standard Telecaster - Candy Apple Red (7 lb 6 oz)

Serial Number:  MX12109750
Weight:  7 lb 6 oz

This 2012 Fender James Burton Standard Telecaster pairs classic Telecaster snap with artist-driven refinements designed for clarity, comfort, and expressive playing. Finished in striking Candy Apple Red, this model stands out visually while delivering the articulate tone and reliability players expect from a Burton-inspired Tele.

Built with an alder body and a maple neck, this guitar features original Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil pickups, offering bold output, enhanced midrange presence, and unmistakable Tele twang. The neck has a comfortable feel that leans closer to a modern C profile—substantial enough for stability, but not oversized—making it approachable for a wide range of playing styles. A 9.5" fingerboard radius and vintage-style frets balance traditional feel with modern playability.

This instrument is in great overall condition, retains its original pickups, and includes a deluxe gig bag, making it a ready-to-play option for stage, studio, or collection.
