BLADE TE4 TEXAS PRO MC - 3-TONE SUNBURST
The Texas Series
Vintage tone and feel - the Texas Series has the welcome aura of an old friend from the first moment you pick one up. The sweet sound of a North American alder body harmonizing with a Canadian maple neck is legendary. But there is more. Enhanced tonal possibilities push back the normal sonic boundaries without sacrificing simplicity of design. The satin finished neck feels fast and friendly. Your music is limited only by your imagination.
Features include:
- Newly designed single coil pickups
- Vintage steel block tremolo
- Vintage style tuners
- Variable Spectrum Control Tone Enhancement (on some models)
Superior woodwork, vintage style tuners and the Blade VSC takes the Texas Standard Pro beyond the limitations of conventional instruments. Since its introduction in 1994 it has become a “Standard of Excellence” for discerning musicians seeking the traditional single coil tone with the limitless enhancement of Blade’s Variable Spectrum Control - VSC. The newly designed and calibrated True Tone single coils are fatter and fuller for 2011 for a remarkable bluesy tone. A vintage style tremolo with a steel block completes the picture. The rest is in your hands.

Features
EZ-Access Truss Rod
Born in the workshop as the logical result of simplifying truss rod adjustment, the Levinson EZ-Access neck rod has been a standard feature on Blade® guitars since 1987. By simply removing the Levinson imprinted cover at the 22nd fret the neck rod tension can be adjusted to compensate for seasonal humidity changes affecting your action.
M-54 Tremolo
A Blade® classic. The custom steel saddles are spaced at 54 mm to give the best string alignment for both single coils and humbuckers and afford optimal string positioning on the edge of the fingerboard. The solid steel block delivers pure vintage tone with no compromises.
Adjustable Tension Guide
Every detail of a Blade® guitar represents a commitment to engineering perfection. The Adjustable Tension Guide (ATG) perfectly balances the string tension at the nut with asymmetric a spring loaded height adjustment to keep you in tune, no matter how hard you wail on your whammy bar.
