Parallel Universe Vol. II Troublemaker Tele Deluxe Electric Guitar

The engineers at Fender have reinvented the wheel again with the Parallel Universe Vol. II series of unique electrics. Case in point—the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe. Distinctive with a white finish, gold hardware and black block inlays, this Tele has 2 Double Tap humbuckers. If you're looking for a versatile instrument of a different breed, we think the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe might be right up your alley.

The Tele Deluxe is Big on Buckers

Fender waited until 1972 to mount a ‘bucker in a Tele body, but these Parallel Universe p’ups are a different breed altogether. The Tim Shaw-designed bridge and neck humbuckers have a well-defined voice, throaty and powerful. But if you want a single-coil tone (with no loss in output), it’s as easy as tapping on the volume knob. Also unique to this model: dual volume and tone controls.

A Mahogany Fender Body

Only in a parallel universe is there a Fender body in mahogany. Mahogany has a balanced tone, which makes it an ideal platform for multi-voiced humbuckers. Just like a vintage original Fender, the Tele Deluxe is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. We think you’ll love the way it ages.

Unique Hardware 

With no tremolo in the way, your strings will stay stable with the anchored tailpiece. The Adjusto-Matic bridge will help you dial in the right intonation. The Tele Deluxe’s vintage-style tuners, like the rest of the hardware, is finished in gold. 

Lots of Style

Visually, there’s a lot to like about the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe. Black block inlays match the pickguard and “witch hat” control knobs and really stand out against the white body, which is also outlined with black binding.

Everyone needs a Tele in their arsenal; with the Troublemaker Tele Deluxe's versatile pickups and case of understated flash, this might be the right one to add to your collection. The Fender Parallel Universe Vol. II Troublemaker Tele Deluxe includes a certificate of authenticity and Surf Green deluxe hardshell case.
