    SOUNDS

    What I really like about this guitar is it's comfortable feel of the neck it's complete and utter balance from the top of the guitar to the bottom. I'm not a huge fan offender pick ups. I find that they don't emulate the sound qualities of the guitar that are natural to the shape of each guitar. I have always replaced the sender pick ups and every Fender guitar that I've ever bought. These pickups aren't the worst sounding pick up snow world but they certainly aren't the best either. The guitar is evenly balanced for a good warm clean tone. I'm really impressed with the way the Rosewood fretboard interacts with the Alder body of this guitar. Alder wood is one of my favorite woods when he comes to guitar building. I love the way it resonates with each pick and strum of the strings. Almost all of my guitars that I currently own our alder and I'm finding more and more each day and I leaned towards this body style over the mahogany wood.

    OVERALL OPINION

    At new you can find these guitars for right around the price of $1000 you can. You can find them online or in most guitar retailer shops. I highly recommend this guitar to any player who is looking to get a good easy fast ripping fretboard guitar. With the price that they are asking for this guitar is very hard to pass up this good of a deal.

    Needs a burger and fries

    Fender American Standard Telecaster [2008-2012]Published on 08/04/11 at 12:14
    The Fender telecaster is one of the most iconic guitars ever produces. It helps to be one of the very first electric guitars ever made, so it has some face time with the public that an Explorer or a PRS doesn't have. So many people are used to seeing this guitar over the years and that helps in the marketing of this shape of guitar. The shape is great and unlike the Fender Strat this guitar has a better cleaner sustain to my ears. Not that is sustains longer but the sustain is a cleaner headroom than the Strat to my ears. The tone cannot match the Strat but it has its own thing going on. This is a country player's guitar and a softer rock guitar for sure. You can't really drop tune this gui…

    Fender American Telecaster Candy Cola Rosewood Fretboard Features:

    Alnico V pickups
    Deluxe hardware
    Solid alder body (black, 3-color sunburst, candy cola, and blizzard pearl) or ash body (2-t3-c-cone sunburst, natural, crimson red transparent)
    Modern C-shaped maple neck with rich, deep neck tint, glossed neck fretboard with satin back and rolled edges
    Delta-tone™ no-load circuit
    Highly finished frets
    Detailed nut work
    Bent steel Fender saddles
    American Standard Tele® Bridge Plate (steel saddles and brass plate) for improved resonance
    Thinner undercoat for improved body resonance
    Rosewood or maple fretboard
    Staggered machine heads



    SOUNDS

    The Fender Telecaster has unique tone and a powerful and clean punch to the tone that is unlike any other guitar made by Fender or anybody else for that matter. These guitars has a nice easy shape to the body a neck so they should feel and sound suburb. The Fender Tele's have a sound that is just phenomenal to my ears. I mean the tone is basically the same as any other Fender telecaster but the red color of this guitar just pops more than other colors and leaves me wanting to explore the guitar even more. So you tend to give it a little bit more soul and dynamic because the look of it just brings you to that level.

    I like to play the Fender Tele with just about any guitar amp that I have. This guitar will blend with what ever you have and make it that much better and that much more musical. My favorite treatment for these guitars is to blend them with a Fender Hot Rod amp or a Marshall JMP. I love the tone that the dark HR amp has than blends well with the voicing of this guitar. The JMP has a nice brighter tone to my ears that makes the bright tone that this guitar match in a clean way. Hard to explain in just words what those two instruments do together.

    OVERALL OPINION

    You can pick these guitars up new for right at around $1000, which isn't that bad of a price for this American made guitar. I prefer the maple fretboard over the rosewood fretboard on this guitar but the red color is just something else to me. I love that color of red and it just pops when you first see it in person. One fantastic looking and sounding guitar.

    Fender is probably the biggest music company in the world when it comes to amp and guitars.

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.

    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.

This has a better pickup installed that make it more optimum in my eyes. Usually you have to replace those garbage sounding Fender pickups.

    UTILIZATION

    * Alnico V pickups
    * Deluxe hardware
    * Solid alder body black
    * Modern C-shaped maple neck with rich, deep neck tint, glossed neck fretboard with satin back and rolled edges
    * Delta-tone™ no-load circuit

    * Thinner undercoat for improved body resonance
    * Rosewood or maple fretboard
    * Staggered machine heads


    SOUNDS

    The tone is a slap in the face of anyone who think that a Telecaster is a country guitar. This guitar can do any style of music except metal. You can play county rock, pop and everything of every genre in between. You can dial this guitar into a nice grind and get those single coils singing with ease on a nicely distortion amp. These pickups are much better that some of the other ones offed by Fender. These ones do not need to be replaced as they are top of the line Alnico V bar, which means there are 5 alnico magnets in each single coil pickup.

    This guitar was just a pure enjoyment to play with and even record with. I would change the pickups though as Fender pickups are about the worst in the business. I have always liked the tone of a Fender Telecaster with a good Fender amp. 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. The tone and sustain was phenomenal and pleasing to the ears.

    OVERALL OPINION

    At new these guitars come in right at around $999 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.

    A super set, profile C, Maple and more with a high gloss in the pleasant doigts.On deplort access to quite an acute one can limit I should say, but ... It's a pretty heavy guitar at the same time is alder ... The mechanics are impeccable, the wiring is very clean, neat violin.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is more suitable for rock / blues / pop but in a spirit founk reggae or she is doing beautifully bien.Amateurs metal / shred / true black metal celtic go your way .....

    Well after so it's a telecaster sound micro well, the type of sound, I guess they do not need to present it to you huh ...
    I branch on a Vox AC30 recess so it sounds pretty good, although this combination sucitte a lot of settings for sound bearing a loud can.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I can repeat an opinion, now that I have for over a year.
    It's sort of my main guitar, or I jous also an epiphone custom sg epiphone EJ200 and another.
    I would like to specify that with respect to std telecaster usa of the previous series, there are quite a new thing notement the bridges, I do not know whether more effective but at least more aesthetic. The painted the handle is also different, I prefer it but basically tells the taste and color.
    The report qualitée price is good enough, you really pay for what, it really is € 1,200 more than respectable for a guitar that its quality.

    With the experience I think I would do it Hands up that choice.

    with a simple electronic config (see above) get a good sound is instant!

    SOUNDS

    Oh brit guitar pop!
    it should be a great style of music, in my case (noisy / pop) too, the sound is banging with a lot of sustain, less dry than on a standard tv, it's clear in the distal foot but, unlike received ideas that too coool! on the other hand with settings high gain AC blows, well as a simple fender micro, but it remains manageable
    test on a vox ac 4, and a Fender Super Champ XD with a big muff and a Proco You Dirty Rat (a wonder with a telecaster)
    very good for the country, rock, picking, pop ,..... remains the case metal, noise gate mandatory, and it sounds not bad but we feel it is not his best applicaton &%&%& % &% I got 6 / 7 months (and then sold for financial reasons) and it was my first Fender owned us ... I tried a telecaster before in the past loose, because I'm at the base gibsonnien one, and I'm always surprised by nothing ostentatious, nothing extravagant, no fluff, it's a guitar that sounds .. point bar, and it's a huge pleasure to play on it because it is reliable expressive, versatile ...
    If I could buy I will not hesitate
