2011 Fender USA Telecaster 60th Anniversary - 3-Tone Sunburst

2011 Fender Telecaster 60th Anniversary – 3‑Tone Sunburst / Maple Neck & Fretboard

The Altitude Summary

This rare 2011 Fender Telecaster 60th Anniversary in 3‑Tone Sunburst is in excellent, museum‑queen condition — no fret wear, no dings or battle scars. It’s clearly been treated as a case queen throughout its life. Everything is original and clean, from bridge to tuners to electronics. It comes with the original Fender hard shell case (plus Fender cord and polish cloth). The feel is stellar — smooth neck, flawless action, no buzz or issues whatsoever. Once I get the weight for you I’ll drop it in, but expect it to feel solid without being overly heavy.

Legacy & Limited Edition Design

This Tele is part of Fender’s 60th Anniversary “Telebration” era, combining vintage reverence with modern refinements. Its commemorative neckplate, nitro‑style ThinSkin finish, and distinctive burst coloration make it a standout in any collection. Fender added refinements like a Delta Tone / No‑Load style tone circuit to maximize brightness and clarity. The model features Fender’s modern “C” neck profile, rolled fret edges, and a satin‑tinted maple neck + fretboard setup that balances vintage feel with contemporary playability.

Sonic Character & Electronics

Equipped with a pair of American Vintage spec single‑coil Tele pickups, this guitar delivers vintage crispness, snappy attack, and clarity through overdrive. The control layout is beautifully simple: volume, tone, and 3‑way toggle switch (no push/pull mods). The addition of the Delta Tone / no‑load design helps preserve brightness at full tone setting.

Feel, Playability & Setup

The 22 medium-jumbo frets are in pristine shape — no visible fret wear. The neck is comfortable, the fretboard smooth, and bends feel effortless. Intonation and action are spot on. The six‑saddle bridge (American Standard style) and bent steel saddles provide accurate string positioning and firm sustain. Case, Extras & Collector Appeal

You receive the original Fender hardshell case (not a generic shell), plus Fender cord and polish cloth — ideal “case candy” that enhances value and desirability. This example is unusually well preserved, especially given its limited-edition status and collectible artwork.
