The Fender Telecaster is an iconic guitar that just resonates with brilliant sounding quality. It's a perfectly well balanced instrument that has seen little to no changes since his original production. They've been a few tweaks, bells, and whistles but overall the balance feel and look of this instrument has pretty much remain in tact. It's a simple design with the volume control knob and two tone control knobs. You get three single coil pick ups in the tremolo bridge system. It's fairly easy to use and sound in town is just fantastic.

SOUNDS


These guitar sound great in any application they put them in whether that be a clean setting or a high gain hard rock setting. No matter where you stick this guitar in front of it will bring your existing gear to life. It really adds a great feel and tone to a clean amplifier with its nice bluesy rock tone. It has a great sustain an overall great feel with its light alder body wood and rosewood fretboard. It just sounds perfect and you has to write frequencies and balance that makes playing enjoyable. If you have a plethora of effects pedals or rack units, or you just are playing your guitar straight into the amplifier, it's going to give you a nice clarity and note separation but also bring a solid tone and sustain to your guitar rig.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find these guitars anywhere you look for instruments whether that be online or any retailer around the world. This is probably the most versatile and easily recognizable guitar and one of the most used guitars in the world. You can find a guitar for right around thousand dollars or so and they make great guitars for gigging or recording.
