Designed for 21st-century players, the American Elite Series sports a new compound neck profile designed for comfort and the ultimate playability. A modern "C"-shape at the nut, the rear of the neck morphs along the length of the neck to a modern "D"-shaped profile at the updated neck heel, providing plenty of ergonomic support.

ALL-NEW AMERICAN ELITE NECK HEEL
ALL-NEW AMERICAN ELITE NECK HEEL

For improved upper register access and elegantly functional modern style, the American Elite Series' new cutaway neck heel blends into the asymmetrical neck volute for comfortably enhanced playing feel.

From Lollar:

Our Telecaster® pickup line was originally inspired by vintage Tele® pickups, but with a thoroughly modern approach to building them. We love the vintage sound and have worked hard to perfect our construction methods to optimize the reliability of our pickups.


Rather than use off-the-shelf parts, we manufacture our own parts or have them custom-made to our exacting specifications. As a result, you’ll enjoy unparalleled Tele® tone combined with uncompromising materials and construction.

Each of our Tele® pickups offers a different tonal profile and we encourage players to consider mixing and matching them to achieve their desired tone. All of our Tele® neck pickups have threaded baseplate holes and come with both machine and wood screws to give you the option of pickguard or body mount.

 

 
NEW DOUBLE ACTION TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT WHEEL

The new double action truss rod adjustment wheel makes it a snap to adjust the instrument's neck relief without any special tools.

S-1™ SWITCH
S-1™ SWITCH

The S-1 switch on this model activates series or parallel wiring options when using both pickups for even more tonal variations. Discreetly placed atop the volume control, it engages or disengages at the tap of a finger for on-the-fly adjustments.
