Fender American Deluxe Telecaster QMT (Quilted Maple Top) – USA 2006

Here is a 2006 Fender Special Run American Telecaster QMT HH in Tobacco Sunburst with a quilted maple top, a beautifully executed limited-edition USA model that blends classic Fender design with a more modern, high-output approach. Produced as part of Fender’s Special Run series, this 60th Anniversary example represents a rare factory variation with premium appointments and a distinctive aesthetic.

This example features a solid body with a stunning quilted maple top over a comfortable Telecaster platform, paired with a dual humbucker configuration. It’s loaded with Atomic II humbuckers, delivering a powerful, punchy tone with excellent clarity and Fender-style articulation, sitting tonally between a traditional Telecaster and a more aggressive, Les Paul-style voice. The pickups are versatile enough for clean jazz tones, blues, and heavier rock applications without losing definition.

Playability is excellent, with a low, comfortable action and a well-set-up neck that feels fast and responsive. Fret wear is minimal, and the instrument overall presents in excellent condition with virtually no visible player wear.

Condition is excellent with only very light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A rare and highly desirable Fender Special Run Telecaster that combines premium aesthetics, modern versatility, and limited-production appeal. Comes with its original Fender hard poly case.
