  Characteristics

  Fender telecaster has a fantastic sound with a very fun dynamic tone that complements the users playing style. These guitars are very versatile and no matter what setting you put them in they are going to sound fantastic. It has a great bright tone primarily because of the bright wood that is used throughout the body of the guitar. These guitars generally feature an ash maple or alder type combination which allows a lot of dynamics with the clean tones throughout the frequencies range. It is a guitar that will cut through the band mix quite well.

  Sounds

  The one sound and I think is my favorite with this type of guitar is a nice clean amplifier such as Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or Fender twin reverb amplifier with a good Ibanez tube screamer pedal out front as well as a digital or analog delay pedal. You can get a great driving pop rock sound that will go quite well with pretty much any style of music that you find yourself in. These are great guitars for recording as well so you can get a really dynamic tone in a recording session quite easily. Because these guitars really highlight a player's picking, strumming , and unique style they are a good pallet to paint their musical artistry with.

  Overall Opinion

  These guitars you'd find pretty much and a retailer and any guitar shop around the world. You can also find them quite easily online and in many classifieds or eBay auctions. These are very versatile guitars but probably not as versatile as a Fender Stratocaster. If you're looking for that one guitar that will be your end-all, be-all and this probably isn't the guitar for you. It has a great sound but I think it's a little less versatile and maybe Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul guitar.

  saturax08's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " incoutournable"

  Characteristics

  two-position selector + a low position.
  
  the characteristics of the original telecaster. The best that has been manufactured for my taste.
  
  Mapple neck, maple body.
  
  Nitrocellulose lacquer as at the time.
  
  Full details of 1952 are met.

  Utilization

  A joy to play.
  
  Irreplaceable, indispensable, essential if you like the electric guitar.

  Sounds

  The sound is just a legend. We find all the sounds we liked in the stones, in old Floyd ...
  
  This model is in every way true to the legendary model so ... Everything is said in the history of rock on the scratch.

  Overall Opinion

  It's my favorite electric guitar. I do not really want to separate myself I would do this choice with eyes closed. I do not know of any guitar more attractive as the sounds it produces by its appearance and comfort of game it will not be legions on the market in a few years but if you find one go for it.

  Oli_C's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Link!"

  Characteristics

  This is a Fender '52 Vintage everything from classic to!
  
  
  
  Made in the United States in 2005, three bridge decks, handle 21 frets, 3-position selector (change from the previous owner), 2 knobs, ...

  Utilization

  I play the guitar for almost 8 years and my one and only one shovel was Washburn X-50.
  
  
  
  To put the beast in speed: 24 frets thin neck, a highway, two Seymour Duncan humbuckers micro ... In short, a very muscular skyscraper! Being my first guitar, I had chosen my influences at the time, namely, very metal! For 4 years I play alternative rock in a formation (early pop and rock now), it held the road but next reference in the style she wanted over the road!
  
  
  
  After testing a number of guitars in stores and at friends (Fender Start, Tele, Jazzmaster-Jaguar ..., LP & Gibson SG), after scouring the forums and my choice is to carry on the Telecaster !
  
  
  
  First because the model I like a lot! TV, either we like or not like it! Me personal, I do not like the Start of a visual point of view, but I love the Tele!
  
  
  
  My choice was to focus first on a US Standard. Then, having found an ad on a site selling during this 52 Vintage at a very interesting (ie 1'075 €), I rush!
  
  The test with friends in a pro guitarist with a fine collection of guitar and especially for Fender and under his advice, I take the plunge!
  
  
  
  So first take your hands enough ... "Violent" take a very thin neck and thin to the baseball bat used to handle 52, it was a sport!
  
  
  
  But there in no comparison, the total feet to play on an instrument like that! The high-end and the money does not always mean good stuff here but not there to photograph, it's worth the money!

  Sounds

  I play with a VOX AC30 and my pedalboard consists of a OD9 Maxon, MXR '78 Custom & Dynacomp Badass Disto, EHX Big Muff and Tc Elec Nova Repeater.
  
  
  
  So fairly standard config: 1 overdrive, a distortion, a fuzz, a compressor, a delay of + the VOX switch (reverb + tremolo).
  
  
  
  I had to start by changing all my settings: switch between guitar metal / heavy rock to the Telecaster is a giant step!
  
  
  
  10 to 15 minutes after setting I find his "huge"!
  
  It's much more subtle, it sounds more "real", with a lot of depth, the 100% compliance attacks, ...
  
  It's a sound that can go from very sharp to something thicker and by operating a pedal or a knob / switch is going to crystal clear sound and very heavy!

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a short time but will step photos, please when a guitar is already 50% of winning but then in hand, when one feels a little something special is that the bonus!
  
  
  
  I do not regret at all! I still love my old guitar as I made my first weapons with a lot of memories, but spend on an instrument "pro", it's just amazing!
  
  
  
  Level quality / price ratio, I think that's clear, 1'075 € used, if it was not me she was going very fast in someone else. Bon y OCCAZ OCCAZ and here I am falling on the guy mega detailed, very correct and really pro! Beware of copies and other scams!

  le Reverand's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is "the" Telecaster said all t! (A time travel machine)

  Utilization

  The handle is trs enjoyable, the varnish has a tendency not stick, it must be cleaned from time to time
  
  Access in no acute problem
  
  The guitar is lgre is an instrument that can sound on any amp.
  
  It's all in the fingers, rglages and attack the player.

  Sounds

  This guitar is polivalente and agrees all styles, perfect for rock in general.
  
  I use it with all sorts of amp (JCM 800, Boogie MKIV, Fender Princeton ...) a ring no matter what happens even with the big satellite.
  
  I use the bridge pickup 95p100 but all combinations are "sonic".
  
  It is the only Fender I tried sending the grave when you turn the volume back.
  
  She never pull up and pierces the eardrums like a knife ... mix a box of scne!

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 20 years, I jou hundreds of gigs in bars and all sorts of places, it is solid.
  
  Sweat, beer, crush, mine is falling repeatedly, the varnish is fragile on the handle and the body is missing large portions without the game or the sound suffer.
  
  I tried a good number of tls and that is the best ... especially the bridge pickup and the handle that makes the difference!
  
  Report exellent price for a quality instrument that can keep a lifetime.
  
  It is a basic guitar than any rock guitarist should try one day. This is not my main guitar but it accompanies me on all scnes.
  
  I would always have a telecaster into my set, the one in particular.

  Anonymous 's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - In what country does she makes? United States to mine, one of the wooden dernire ft of sch and not tuv (1977)
  
  -How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
  
  I Bricol (well, it's a luthier that is), addition of a micro hambucking Gibson 2, has a warm sound, the other 2 are still the micro course.
  
  - What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)? uh, I do souviejn addition, I also changed to an easel bp rglage harmonics, originally c'tait two strings and that both teachers (last for me).
  
  - What are the rglages (Volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
  
  every possible position of microphones, for one by 2 or 3.
  
  Personally, I use a microphone that time.
  
  - What type of race?
  
  that of tl .... there's nothing better, really, nothing.
  
  I put 9 because of the history of the bridge which for me today is back to normal.

  Utilization

  - The handle is it enjoyable?
  
  - Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
  
  - Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
  
  - Gets it easy to sound good? ...
  
  I rponds block, there is nothing better

  Sounds

  I do not want another.
  
  I play on peavey, trs little effect, let's say a touch of distortion to make me believe the sound, but sometimes I connect direct to the amp with its clear (to not forgive).
  
  otherwise, and often with double ambucking gibson, well rounded, velvet.
  
  not possible to dtest, Roy Buchanan Listen and you will hear what we can come out of this guitar ...

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 30 years (you read that right).
  
  never changed the frets, just a little polish in the luthier sometimes.
  
  I play it almost every day, I paid attention as the apple of my eye, I do not prt and even the fact of leaving the home maker, has me anxious.
  
  I have tried many, and yes I would like to have bcp guitar, but need money.
  
  Report qualitprix. in retrospect, it did not cost much per year of practice ...
  
  but when I bought 77, I sold the stuff so I could pay it and the gear, there were guitars I have good guards when I think in retrospect.
  
  quality price ratio bin adpend also money that a. ..
  
  Ah, I will not regret it, it's the best guitar in the world of music I love.

  janouch's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  The word has already been passed down: a legend!

  Utilization

  Channel super easy to play as on most Fender.
  
  Ideal form for my taste. Mechanical reliability that take the agreement.

  Sounds

  The sound is sublime as in pickup neck pickup. The fact that no combination of neck pickup and bridge is a good thing because I hate the sound of mic positions through.
  
  On this guitar lacks nothing and nothing is too much ... We have not done better since.
  
  What a stroke of genius Leo Fender to have created this guitar in 1949!
  
  58 years later it is still the best in my opinion.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 3 years.
  
  When I discovered I knew it was "Ze" ... Above all guitar than I would look over the other.
  
  I used a Gibson SG standard, a strat US, which étaitent both excellent, but I never had that much fun playing on the TV 52.

  pat1961's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Tlcaster us in 2001. known and recognized. I AIM it is in blue, red or other colors. will not be buterscotch / blonde. "yellow". the simplicity is appropriate. A model of it before all other models. bass / treble and volume, for rglages. handle some pais it can be done quickly but to beginners, it's cramps. APRS against it by just playing any other guitar. is lgre and it's terribly important.

  Utilization

  It's the bomb. Handy wish, versatile and efficient. it is a wonderful tool for those who love the sound crystal clean and slamming. dcoupe the form "tlquot; allows ACCS IDAL top. it takes a long time given.

  Sounds

  Blues, rock, country, celtic, I rgale is beautiful is good. on vox, marshall on, on engl and even a good old classic50, it's beautiful. saturation able, in short, it's perfect. everyone gots his May no double coil and when it is L.

  Overall Opinion

  A wonder, except the price, the choice of colors and still online. I want a second, I will be forced to take the same ^

  7ender's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  United States, she returned with me to the bottom! US Therefore, the bridge is a fixed block. Volume and tonality over a 3-position selector.
  
  
  
  the handle, ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh Well my pig!! it has the handle!
  
  
  
  Need I say more ...... there is no simpler and therefore more effective!

  Utilization

  - The handle is the relativementpais but got it as a function of each.
  
  - CHAC is easy to acute and acute are more than Submitted ;-).
  
  - Balance, ergonomics and weight are at the top of same by the simplicity of the instrument.
  
  - Even if it 'is only a microphone and two 3-position selector, you can do anything with this thing!
  
  
  
  For me, a luthier friend amme change the selector to set a 3P slecteur 4 positions!
  
  Why? For the combination microphone series and / /.

  Sounds

  I play Fender amp 65 'Twin Reverb and Blues Junior.
  
  A friend Luthier slecteur I changed the 3 positions for 4 positions in addition to having the two mics together in SERIES BUT .... and hurt! more aesthetically it does not see ;-)
  
  
  
  You can play everything on this guitar.

  Overall Opinion

  3 / 4 years of use and always a pleasure.
  
  c'tait again and if it is not so rflchir.
  
  
  
  I will like a Thinline too.

  Voodoo10's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I for one version of 92 US-yellow perfect: neither too nor too pale yellow mustard (too much polish ...). Consquent seen by many trs solid ash body ... The rest is standard: Saddle handle (very beautiful plate ...), black 1 ply .. : O) fixed bridge with brass saddles, volume and tonal and bast.
  
  Electronic level:
  
  2 micros simple ... In the original version, is installed in an Resistors Shma the microphones as the original. But the sound is too dull, not really sound like a tl especially for the neck pickup .... blah no interest, I pulled ... and it is much better.
  
  Conclusion: 9 / 10 is really vintage ... (may be too much for some lol) both mcanique and electronic ... but hey you not take a 52 to make the modern! : O), does all of its effectiveness

  Utilization

  Channel simply sublime ... size to really rock. The "Satriani" and others will look elsewhere for what is not a solo tondeuze grass ... Here is rock and that's it (and many dj). This handle fits all types of hand I think.
  
  A try anyway ...
  
  Same as the other notice, access to the last box is not ais ... but hey it is not for a.
  
  She is not heavy and well equilibrated trs ... at this level is the perfect. It is really a lgnde in his hands.
  
  Not that it sounds empty trs well (we feel the wood rsons ...)

  Sounds

  I believe that this sincrement guitar can do anything. But hey it excle in blues / rock forcment
  
  I play pop / rock and this guitar suits me because (I do not play nearly over my Start).
  
  For my part I play on Marshall 30me birthday and many hard ca. Of course it would give another side of a fender or brunetti (what I intend to buy in complment).
  
  Unlike the opinion of bertib (52 Mexico), my 52 possde enornment low (even in my bass player too lol). FYI I play 10-52
  
  The bridge pickup sounds terribly crunch and even more (see mtal pdalier that if you need me for a GT6). Her pure, warm and acute grip well.
  
  I use the neck pickup to sound a little clearer. The sound we get Tl .. trs his round, shiny with lots of bass and more heat
  
  10/10: all the strings sound, the harmonics are pure and it really can do anything. (It's not for nothing that is everywhere)

  Overall Opinion

  I play guitar for fifteen years and it is prs than a year I bought OCCAZ.
  
  What is its strength is that it goes straight to the point, there's no frills, it sounds regardless of the style.
  
  Those who do not like the vintage spend their paths. Rather direct you to a deluxe tl US (same price range just prs).
  
  It is true that Fender charge high prices (pay 1500 for a guitar that has not moved in 50 years ... hence the 9) but good when you love it does not count!
  
  Truly a pleasure to play on standard ... If yes without re c'tait hsiter a second! Try to adopt it.
