Fender 2018 Limited Edition Meteora

THE NEW STYLE

Motion meets balance with a touch of elegance with The Meteora, a sleek new limited-edition body shape that carries on our tradition of arresting aesthetic design. The sound is as propulsive as its visually stimulating lines—it wants to roar on stage, thanks to the two biting Custom Shop Tele® pickups. With its brand-new offset body shape, The Meteora has guts and grace and is distinctively Fender.

ASH BODY

This unique body is crafted from strong, dense ash—a longtime Fender classic. Notably resonant and sweet-sounding, it also features an attractive grain.

LACQUER FINISH

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body breathe with its true tonal character and also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

MAPLE NECK WITH BLOCK INLAYS

Since 1966 the elegant high-end look of block inlays has been a classic Fender stylistic element. They look better than ever on this maple neck.

CUSTOM SHOP PICKUPS

This distinctive model features a pair of single-coil pickups from the Custom Shop. Each pickup is packed with hot, high-output Tele tone and a dash of sparkle.

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL TELE BRIDGE

This Telecaster bridge sports three compensated brass barrel saddles for accurate intonation and vintage-informed tone.

BONE NUT

A string nut fashioned from bone contributes to superior tone and performance, as well as being an authentic original-era Fender design element.
