Carved top. P90 at neck position, single-coil at bridge.
Overview
The Aerodyne Telecaster guitars have finally arrived! Like their brother, the Aerodyne bass, these next-generation guitars feature a carved-radius top with cream-colored binding, and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Tele guitar utilizes a soap bar (neck) and single-coil pickup (bridge), three-way selector and six-saddle hard-tail bridge. This is a beautiful instrument and combines classic Fender style with new and innovative designs -- resulting in a very cool and unique guitar!

"A Shiny Love Afffair"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
If I had to get rid of some my guitars, i would keep this and my Martin acoustic above any others
Sound
I Love my Aerodyne Tele..... That classic Tele twang is always there with this shiny beauty, every time i pick it up, i go for the clean twang and relish the tone.. but with the neck pickup i can get softer jazz lounge tone, if you play with the selector and tone knob you get lost in a whole world of tones . to me it's every guitar in a shiny curved tele shape and whether you play chords or lead you'll slide effortlessly over the smooth frets.. Try one .. if you see one in a shop.. have a go... I DARE YOU.. you won't be leaving the shop without it
Features
Simple Simple Simple.. that's the key here, every part on this is tried and tested fender, quality oozes from this relatively budget guitar. you get the usual Tele bridge pickup, but the neck pickup is not standard tele, (I'm no techie) it's bigger and fatter (as is the sound), Two knobs, one for Volume and one for tone, and one three position pickup select switch. everything in the body is installed from the back, via two holes covered by inset coverplates giving a smooth back, but more importantly, an uninterrupted smooth radiused front.. the predominant feature of this black piano lacquered body, set off with cream edge binding.. mmmm
Ease of Use
Simple again, no surprises, everything is where you expect, it's… read more a seamless connection of player and guitar.. and as it's so light for a tele, you can just enjoy the experience.
Quality
Fit and finish are top quality, as you would expect from a Japanese Fender, the lacquer is smooth and resilient, and has a lovely warm feel
Value
Value for money is a phrese which springs to mind, but doesn't do the quality justice, as it implies it's built to a price, there's little to distinguish this from a top custom Fender, except for lack of fancy superfluous decoration..
Manufacturer Support
never had to contact Fender or anyone over this guitar
The Wow Factor
You know you want one, just look at it.. I still look at it on the stand in my house and try playing little games, like, not looking at it for a while, then looking at it, to see if I still like it........ and I do...
