The American standard Telecaster is the benchmark by which other Teles are measured, and to make sure that the benchmark is up to date, the Fender Standard Telecaster has undergone a refresh for 2012. Now featuring upgraded pickups, the American Standard series is fitted with Custom Shop Broadcaster bridge pickup and Twisted Tele neck single coils, giving you access to the smoothness and rounded quality that the Custom Shop pickups have to offer on a US standard guitar. Additionally, a tummy cut is now included for added comfort and reduced weight.
The USA Standard Tele naturally still features high quality Fender tone woods and construction including Alder (or Ash) bodies, maple necks with a modern C-shaped profile, and the choice of a great range of stunning finishes that tastefully acknowledge the greatness and importance of the Fender Telecaster guitar's history.
