Published on 11/29/11 at 15:31The Fender Telecaster was the original guitar at the Fender Music company came out with in the early 50s late 40s. This is a design that was very simple which had a great sound and a future into the music world. It simply had two single coil pickups with a volume control knob and tone control knob. It didn't have a a lot of features and at that time it didn't really need any. Since then we've had different evolutions of the Fender Telecaster but overall the body shape the tone in the feel have remain the same.

SOUNDS
I love Fender Telecaster because it has a great sound which is very unique to any other guitar out there today. Even though it's a Fender it does sound like other Fender products but has its own unique taste towards music. It definitely has its own feeling and sustain which makes it very appealing to country and indie rock players. The notes just seem to jump right off the fretboard because of the fast neck and the overall tone that it produces. Usually Fender Telecaster's feature light body woods such as ash or maple which gives it a nice panky clean tone. So you are able to hear all the notes ring out very clearly and efficiently. This guitar will fit in any setting you put in them but they'd really don't excel at any type of drop tuning or alternate tooting situations.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars come in right around thousand dollars or so. You can find them pretty much anywhere you buy guitars. Whether that be online or in Guitar Center or any other music shop you can pretty much find standard Telecasters sitting on a wall somewhere. They're great guitar for gigging and great rock guitars for recording and overall such a nice addition to anyone's guitar collection.
