Fender T-Bucket 400 CE
Fender T-Bucket 400 CE Flamed Maple Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural
Fender has upped the ante with the T-Bucket 400 CE Flamed maple acoustic-electric guitar, upgrading it with a beautiful natural flamed maple top, back, and sides to make this a real stunner, bound to turn heads. The Fender guitar is built on a dreadnought platform, where the body depth and shoulder width produce a sound chamber yielding tremendous tone, balanced from lows to highs. The T-Bucket 400 CE guitar's cutaway offers comfort and accessibility for those high-register frets. The neck is also flamed maple, a strong wood that brings out crisp definition of each note.
The rosewood bridge and fret board provide lasting sustain, while the compensated saddle and die-cast tuners help keep the Fender T-Bucket acoustic guitar in precise tuning. The chrome hardware and gloss polyurethane finish add a striking natural appearance, letting the flame maple grains shine through in its natural beauty.

The SC-2 was pure Leo genius—fresh, forward-looking, and fun.Though the '80s New Wave movement gave way to glam rock, which gave way to the grunge movement in the '90s, what comes around goes around.
