For Sale: 1993 Fender Telecaster Plus V1 3-Tone Sunburst w/ OHSC

Up for sale is a 1993 Fender Telecaster Plus V1 in 3-Tone Sunburst, complete with its original Fender hard-shell case.

The Telecaster Plus is one of Fender's most innovative and collectible designs from the early 1990s. Produced during the Fender Plus era and famously associated with Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, the Tele Plus combined traditional Telecaster styling with modern electronics and expanded tonal versatility.

Featuring a Lace Sensor Blue neck pickup, Lace Sensor Red Dually bridge humbucker, TBX tone control, and coil-splitting mini-toggle switch, the Telecaster Plus offers a much wider range of sounds than a traditional Tele while retaining the feel and playability that made the model famous.

Finished in classic 3-Tone Sunburst, this is a particularly clean example of one of the most sought-after Fender USA models of the era.

Electronics & Features

The Telecaster Plus was Fender's answer to players who wanted more versatility without sacrificing classic Fender feel.

The Lace Sensor Blue neck pickup delivers warm, articulate tones with excellent clarity and reduced noise, while the Lace Sensor Red Dually bridge pickup offers everything from classic Tele bite to full humbucker power.

The 3-position mini-toggle switch allows the Red Dually to operate as a full humbucker or as either individual coil, dramatically expanding the available tonal palette.

Another standout feature is the TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone control. Unlike a traditional tone knob, the TBX provides additional tonal flexibility by expanding both bass and treble frequencies beyond the center detent position, giving players access to a broader range of sounds.

Tone & Feel

This guitar covers an impressive amount of ground.

It can deliver traditional Telecaster-style cleans, warm neck pickup tones, punchy rock sounds, and full humbucker-driven gain without breaking a sweat. The Lace Sensor pickups remain one of Fender's most successful noiseless designs, offering excellent clarity and dynamics while minimizing unwanted noise.

The Modern C neck profile feels fast and comfortable, while the 9.5" radius makes bends easy and natural.

At 8 lbs 2 oz, it has excellent balance and a solid, substantial feel without becoming overly heavy.
