Fender is probably the biggest music company in the world when it comes to amp and guitars. They have been played all over the world from beginner learning guitar players to the best professionals in the world. Any guitar who has ever been playing the guitar longer than a few year most likely have picked up owned a Fender Stratocaster at some point.

If you are in need of one of the best sounding guitars in the world then I would suggest getting a solid sounding Fender telecaster made in America like this one. This instrument has a great touch and natural tone to match. The instrument get get a great sustain and a nice rounded clean tone all the same. It is one of the most easily recognized guitars shapes and guitars in the world. Other than maybe a Fender Strat or a Gibson Les Paul

SOUNDS

This guitar can do any style of music except metal. You can play county rock, pop and everything of every genre in between. I have always liked the tone of a Fender Telecaster with a good Fender amp or even the sound you can get from a solid sounding Marshall amp of some sort. I love the sound of a tubescreamer in front with a promising delay pedal of some kind and the combination from all of that gear as just a delight. You can dial this guitar into a nice grind and get those single coils singing with ease on a nicely distortion amp. The tone and sustain was phenomenal and pleasing to the ears.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these guitars come in right at around $1000 which is a steal of a great price. If I were in the market this would be about the best you could do for an American made Fender guitar. I would recommend everyone to own at least one Fender Telecaster. They are a great addition to the team. You have to own one to round out your tonal arsenal.
