Alder Wood Tone:Alder is the most popular Fender body wood, dating back to the late 1950's. It is the classic ingredient to that signature sound. The sound is a thicker, midrange tone and it is very full in the low midrange but still produces enough upper midrange to be clear and articulate.

Solid Flame Maple Top:A solid maple flame top has been used to construct this Tele body. Solid tops are slightly more expensive than veneer tops, however, look much more 3 dimensional and don't have that thin veneer, faux appearance. The tonal qualities of a maple / alder combination is slightly different, however, only an expert ear can pick up the subtle difference. It is very popular for many styles of music because of the wide tonal spectrum that it produces. It brings forth a very rich, full sound.
