The original electric guitar, updated for the 21st century. When people first saw the Fender Broadcaster, it was ridiculed, but now, 60 years on, its prodigal child - the Fender Telecaster - has proved to be one of the most popular guitar designs in the history of rock n roll thanks to its retro vibe and a sound that is choc full of character. The original and the best!
Mexican made Teles are a step up from Squier branded instruments and a really affordable way to get into the Fender brand which is signified by high quality instruments that are a joy to play and sound like the guitars on all the hundreds of records that probably inspired you to start playing the electric guitar in the first place!
Here's what Fender say about the Standard Telecaster
Professional guitarists in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster guitar since its early 1950s introduction for its powerful tone and smooth playability. The Standard Telecaster combines the best of old and new, with hotter single-coil pickups, shielded body cavities, medium jumbo frets, six-saddle strings-through-body bridge, cast/sealed tuners, tinted neck, parchment pickguard and control knobs, and '70s-style headstock logo.
