Fender American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster

Fender is introducing this interesting guitar, the Fender American Standard Double-Cut Telecaster, as part of of its '10 for 15' Limited Edition series of guitars:

Fender is pleased to announce the release of the “10 for ’15” Limited Edition Collection, a series of 10 guitars that will be limited to 500 of each worldwide, only at authorized Fender dealers from March to December.

Fender instruments have a storied history and are renowned for their collectability and their ability to be configured in unique combinations. These 10 very special instruments simultaneously illustrate both points, with our most creative minds and talented builders creating several highly distinctive and compelling new guitars sure to become sought-after collector’s items.

The Double-Cut Telecaster evokes the classic Telecaster look, just with a double-cutaway design. The guitar features an ash body and custom shop pickups. I expect that traditionalists may not like it, but I like it.
