Fender Telecaster

The Fender Telecaster proudly sits as one of the few guitars that is instantly recognisable. Often described as getting it right first time, Leo Fender really did hit the nail on the head here. Since it was introduced to the public in 1951, the Telecaster has had very little in the way of changes. It has been the guitar of choice for rock players like Bruce Springsteen and Keith Richards through to country pickers such as Buck Owens and Roy Nichols.

The two single coil pickups give the Fender Telecaster guitar a distinctive sound affectionately known as the 'Tele Twang'. It is seen as a guitar that everyone should have at least one of in their collection. Other staple features are the three way switch and single tone and volume pots. The simplicity of this instrument is what so many love about it and adds to its 'workhorse' reputation.

The Fender Telecaster features in every guitar range that Fender has available. From the affordable Player up to Player Plus, American Professional II and Custom Shop Telecaster models, along with a Thinline series, it is surprising how much variation can be included. The Vintera Telecaster is worth pointing out for those players who want to get a Tele with some of the golden era charm. With a whole range of colours to choose from, the Telecaster always looks great regardless of what paint it wears. Popular choices include black and red.

With signature models from players like Jim Root, Jim Adkins and Richie Kotzen, the Telecaster is certainly not confined to one style of music. Variations such as active humbuckers and bigsby tremolos keep players from all genres happy. Take a look at the wide range of Telecasters that Fender have on offer and you'll be surprised at how much you can get from this instrument!
