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 body, 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.
