Edwards by ESP E-TE-89ASM Telecaster Butter Scotch 2023

Edwards

$1,700.00 AUD

The E-TE-89ASM is Edwards’ take on the classic ash-bodied Telecaster formula—simple, direct, and built with the consistency that has made Edwards one of Japan’s most respected domestic-market guitar brands. Produced in 2023, this model captures the essence of a traditional Tele while incorporating the precise fit and finish expected from modern Japanese manufacturing.

An ash body paired with a one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard delivers the unmistakable snap and articulation associated with vintage Telecasters. Notes have a fast, immediate attack, while the ash body contributes strong clarity and excellent string-to-string definition.

The traditional Telecaster control layout keeps things straightforward, with a three-way selector, master volume, and master tone controlling a pair of Edwards ET-series single-coils. The bridge pickup provides the familiar Tele bite and twang, while the neck pickup offers a warmer, rounded voice suited to clean passages and bluesier tones. Together they deliver a wide range of usable sounds without unnecessary complexity.

A vintage-style brass saddle bridge and Gotoh tuners complete the package, providing reliable tuning stability and classic Telecaster feel.

Finished in Butterscotch Blonde, the E-TE-89ASM stays true to one of the most iconic finishes ever associated with the Telecaster platform.

A well-executed MIJ Telecaster that focuses on the fundamentals: excellent materials, reliable hardware, and timeless tone.
