- An exquisite high-end Telecaster experience awaits the player who gets his hands on a Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH. First, it looks phenomenal, with a carved flame maple top on a mahogany body, cream body binding, a gorgeous finish with a matching headstock, a mahogany set neck, abalone dot fingerboard inlays and black hardware.
- Second, it sounds phenomenal, with dual Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, three-way pickup switching, a push/pull coil tap switch built into the master tone control knob, and more. A decidedly no... on-traditional Telecaster of peerlessly crafted style and powerful sonic substance.

The Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH is kind of Fender's version of a Les Paul standard, mahogany body with real carved maple cap (not veneer), mahogany neck, two humbuckers (both Seymour Duncans that sell for $220 by themselves, with coil splitting), set neck... along with some telecaster stuff (through the body six saddle bridge, telecaster single cut body shape, although it has carves instead of the typical flat slab tele design), etc. I have been researching these for a while, and they are pretty much universally well reviewed, and for several years they were almost never in stock when selling at the $999 MSRP.
ProAudioStar has them for $599 shipped, marked as used, but I believe this is just to get around the Minimum Advertised Price rules. For other guitars marked used from PAS, I received a new guitar that still had the shipping label over the seal from being shipped from Fender to PAS. I waited until I received my order for this FMT HH before posting the deal here to see if I got a new one, and it was the same as the others, still sealed from Fender shipping to PAS. That said, there is no guaranty that no one will get a previously opened guitar, but if so and something is wrong with it, either return it, exchange it, or have Fender fix it.
The guitar I received (Amber) is perfect, setup with a kind of high action, but perfect finish, after a quick setup and tuning it plays great. I am doing a full setup now to lower the action, oil up the fingerboard and all of that, but figured I would post because the guitar is good and the serial checked out good on Fender's serial checking site and had 10/22 born date for warranty.

The cherry burst isn't on sale, too bad as that is what I wanted, but that seems to be the most popular one and doesn't need any help to sell.

It's funny, I have a squier bullet strat that's made in china that has excellent fret work.
Then I have a made in mexico strat and tele that's are also excellent.
Then the american made acoustasonic tele... fret work isn't so great.
If I ever see another american strat in texas tea...
I don't think it matters much any more, and excellent ones can come from anywhere and poor ones can come from anywhere.
When it says "used" be prepared to actually get a used one. I did on the american acoustasonic telecaster deal.

I've always thought that if people cared solely for craftsmanship, fujigen would have put fender out of business. Agree on your mij point. Nicest guitar I've owned was a mij 72 thinline

Other things I have that are MIJ have been excellent (my Takamine that I picked up via another deal like 10 years ago is amazing: https://slickdeals.net/e/5771022-takamine-pro-series-solid-cedar-top-electric-acoustic-guitars-with-ct4b-preamp-685-after-coupon?p=565871
An MIJ is on my bucket list, it might be the only origin for Fender I have yet to play with.

EDIT: Maybe $400-800 range...somewhere in there. Midrange stuff, lots of good guitars coming from Ind.
