SOUNDS

The sound is a true American Standard model, no surprises, it twang great slice it well is slamming .... How short a Telecaster

OVERALL OPINION

I found mine at € 800 with Hard Case No. soucy therefore, they are resistant shovels provided to take care of mine with a date of 92 rare Surf Green finish Metal by well tested against the switch with micro time it crachotte a flick bomb and leaving, the knobs can make the game so like a bit of a screwdriver that is bueno

I got this guitar at a chain called Jim's Music in souther california, 2003. Paid around $700.

The tele's got a really good feel and great clean sound. I have a fender deville tube amp and the sound I get out of the two is amazing. I can even play classical with the tone turned down. I especially like the neck pickup with its dark full sound.


The one thing I don't like about the tele is how crappy its metal distorted sound is. It's perfect for led zeppelin type distortion, but anything harder than that sounds really bad. It is impossible to get any kind of Metallica sound, even with the best distortion pedals.

Quality and construction are great.

Probably near the best electric guitar you can get for any clean music, good for overdrive and light distortion, horrible for metal and punk.

Rope Bridge Crossing American Standard type with 6 bridges, stainless steel.
Chrome fittings.

Maple neck with a profile Modern "C" - satin polyurethane varnish.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a gem! The softness and absolute grip but requiring a good technique because it forgives nothing.

It is a bit heavy (compared to an older model I had) but very well balanced.

Access to acute seems to me not difficult but I do not have large paws, and fits for the solos.

The sound is great, soft, aggressive, round, warm, with incredible sustain.

SOUNDS

Fender single coil pickups with dynamic sound and "vintage". In short the sound of the Telecaster!

I learned to play on a Telecaster dated 1968 but I loved pourave and on which I played the Metal. It was my reference to it.

With this, I discovered "The Fender" (Telecaster), the clean, clear, clean, clean, perfect. It will be my guitar for everything that is not Metal. Composed of infinite perspectives.

I play on a 150 MARSHALL LEAD.

The sound distortion has nothing to do with double coils and suddenly I figured it was not made for such use (in an optical Metal) Blues Crunch but it does.

In his clear is absolute happiness! It goes from a soft, mellow sound aggressive and powerful. Rock, Funk, Blues, Country, Ballad, everything happens for the best!

OVERALL OPINION

A remake? Without hesitation and even pay twice the price I paid.
At this level of quality is Nirvana immediate and direct investment in the long run! !

I played on a Telecaster for 18 years. This is a guitar "emotional." I use it recently (March 2010) but I play every day.
My guitar is precious (my precious ...)

Bought second-hand 600 euros instead of 650 after a short negotiation, I consider it a great deal. A small shock on the lower body (I skipped painting repaired myself) and a light on a corner of the head that I had not even seen for both until the I make out the seller was the deal of the century unexpected!

Given the build quality and its sound quality, pay more seems to me justified especially after comparing with Mexican and more with Squier.

I love his line.
The old was black with a white plate, a face eternal imortalisée by Francis Rossi and updated today by pure metal (JIM ROOT, JOHN 5)) that says it all!
The news is cream with a black plate, I find that it throws less but ... she is beautiful! !
Softer!

Updated in March 2011. After a year of use and compared to all my other guitars, this guitar is a must. This is the best finish, it does not go out of tune, bravo, mechanical, no rope does frieze, everything is clean, perfect! The sound is also perfect and, finally, distortion (with an amp or a pedal modeling), it holds up in all styles!
Overall quality flawless, perfect, Fender!

The Fender Telecaster is absolute superb instrument. From top to bottom up and down inside and out. This is such a great instrument and a solid tone for just about any style of music. The telecaster is a somewhat different body then a Stratocaster in that it doesn't have its double cut away top and bottom heels. It's only got a single cutaway which is similar to a Gibson Les Paul. However, this instrument carry's a particular tone that no other guitar can match.

UTILIZATION


This guitar features to single coil pickups as well as a volume control knob and a tone control knob. It also has a pickup selector and that's pretty much about it. You get a straight up rock guitar that is just brilliant to listen to and is just a fantastic overall instruments.

SOUNDS


I love the tone of this guitar primarily with a good solid clean amplifier and any distortion boxer overdrive pedal out in front of the amp. This is a guitar that's not going to get you thick saturated warm tones, but it's going to get you a percussive high frequency snappy clean tone. If you use a lot of distortion in your amplifier in this guitar does sound good but it's not going to quite give you that beef and drive that you might be used to out of a Gibson Les Paul guitar or another humbucker sinstalled guitar.

OVERALL OPINION


These guitars are very highly used in the country world as well as all the way up to the hard rock world. This is the kind of guitar that is going to be a life or guitar for you. It has a unique tone that is very fender like because it is Fender but extremely different than a Fender Stratocaster. Both can pretty much play in the same style of music but this one has a little bit different feel in the neck and is pretty little bit thinner so it gets a little faster aggressive snappier lead and solo tones. They generally feature ash wood so you get that nice brilliant tones good for clean playing. You can find these guitars for just around thousand dollars or so new and used for around $6-$700. You can find them pretty much anywhere you look for any guitar instruments.

The Fender Tele is a cool and simple design. It has a great feel and a fantastic look. This is a simple guitar with two single quill pick ups and volume control knob any tone control knob with a pick up selector. This is a very simple guitar but yet a extremely great sounding instrument. There isn't a whole lot to get in the way of tone with this instrument. There's not a lot of extra backs or switches or booths of any kind I get in the way of your guitars natural organic tone.

SOUNDS


These guitars work in any music setting that you find yourself in. If you play anything from indie rock to pop rock or even hard rock then this is going to be a great setting for your rig for that style of music. If you use a high gain amplifier then it is going to be a mild tone overall and not very thick and saturated. If you have a clean amplifier such as a Fender twin reverb or fender Princeton amplifier then this guitar is really good match with those amps. I like to use this guitar with a fender Hot Rod Deluxe amplifier and a good overdrive pedal such as an Ibanez tube screamer and a nice digital or analog delay. When you have these pedals with this guitar you can get some great sonic tones.

OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these guitars for around $1000 or so depending on the actual specs of the instrument. Some paint jobs have a little bit different price and such but nothing that will be outrageous. This is a great guitar for cleans and anyone needing a good solid guitar for this particular tone. A Strat and a LP will not sound like this and visa versa. So this is a good addition to any guitar collection.

American Tele-Bridge (6 bridges)
-1 Volume knob

Rosewood-profile modern 'C'
Supplied with case-molded strap, cable, cloth ...

UTILIZATION

- The rosewood fingerboard is so enjoyable trs you can walk without any problem on the handle, slide it alone!
- Access to the latest cargo is not the most ais but remains even done everything possible with a can drive, you get used to rev faster!
- I love its graceful shape and smooth curves, there does not hang with the design of the head or body ... me it suits me perfectly. Only drawback (and the time for me, it is not one): The weight: that with a solid alder body this guitar is worth its weight in cacahute, and it is sometimes hard stand on with this beast hooked the shoulder, but hey, is not it a sign of the quality of the material?
- Regarding the rglage sound, do not esprer find "its own" ds the first time, contrary to what some believe, the TV standards of resource and I m me, I do not exploit all or even found

SOUNDS

- Although this guitar is more "target" as the Stratocaster, which is more ambivalent on TV offers a wide plume noise.
- Of course, this guitar is the most dstine Blues or country (and again) but I can play both the English rock, rock more general and its derivatives ...
For those who complain of the impossibility to play sounds more mtal, trash or Hardcore ... Well they did that not buy this type of guitar and head over to a SG ...
- The microphone of a fever, my taste a lot of punch in and out sound trs sec.
- When was that of the grave, it is warm trs
when handling the Tone knob you can get an extraordinary range of sounds
It would both clear the road or a distortion or overdrive, I love.

OVERALL OPINION

I do possde this guitar for 2 months, then, is to tell you how much I have not had time to discovering relement. The finish is perfect (after all, this is not a US fender for nothing) and you can qu'tre charm by this instrument (which totally changes a replica of poor quality offers by brands side).
This is a guitar that keeps a lifetime even if it can be supplemented with other guitars ...
The fact that it sold in its Case, with all the accessory is an additional asset to tip the balance of good cluck.
The only problem that is not really A: The price, in Euro 1300 in France is sure it is expensive.
Personally, I am providing the direct in California to qualify for a small reduction of 400 euro ... is to know ....

Every little nuance and dynamic that you give this instrument is going to be amplified through the pick ups that are in the guitar. It is such a great guitar for allowing the players unique feel and style and approach to come through those pickups in your amplifier and projected through the speakers. It's such a great and shrimp as a unique tone and a unique sustain that is unlike any other guitar.

SOUNDS


I primarily like these guitars with a good Fender amplifier of some kind. I like the clean tones at Fender amps give me an couple that with a good solid distortion pedal or overdrive pedal and maybe some digital delay and this guitar really rings through for me. I never like this guitar with a high gain amplifier even know it will sound good in many circumstances but I just preferred with a good solid Fender clean amplifier with them . I like using the manufacture distortion tone from an overdrive pedal or distortion pedal because it's just my personal preference. There's really no way to play this guitar or a right way to play it just give it what you have and I'll be a good friend to you.

OVERALL OPINION

I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone searching for one of the best guitars that has ever been created. At new these guitars come in right at around $999. That is a great price for a USA built tone machine. These are cool guitars and a player's guitar for sure. They have a touch and rugged feel to them that makes them a perfect gigging guitar.

The Fender telecaster is easily the most soulful and transparent guitar that a lot of people have played. There's a lot that can be said about the fender telecaster for one thing that comes to mind is that it's a very transparent guitar and what I mean by that is that he gives you exactly what you put into it. It's not to be a ripping high gain metal type guitar that accepts distortion or high levels of gain, but this is the county guitar and if you give it enough tube distortion or any type of the fact that it's going get you a very good transparent tone that will cut through the band mix very well.

SOUNDS


Simple design with two single coil pickup's a volume control knob and a tone control knob and pick up selector. There's not a lot of extra stuff to get in the way it is just a simple no-nonsense design. It does have a nice smooth tone that is appropriate for country music all the way up to hard rock music. I don't like the fender pickups so I suggest swapping those out for some nice Seymour Duncan pick ups or anything that you like. I've never been a fan of Fender's brand pick ups and matter what they are so I voice swamped mine out for Seymour Duncan's cause that's what I prefer. This guitar will work great in a nice Fender amp of some kind.

OVERALL OPINION


These are great guitars built right here in America and have a great balance and feeling for the money it's kind hard to beat. You can find these for right around the thousand dollars or so at that price it is worth the investment. This is a great guitar for anyone looking for a different style in a different tone to your arsenal or maybe if you're looking for to this particular time then there's really no other guitar that can do it quite like a Fender telecaster.

Guitar not revolutionary .... Now! Obviously, the others were all bitten. But it was revolutionary when it came out.

Two microphones, a selector 3 positions
22 frets
fixed bridge (6 bridges, not like in the days when there were only 3)
maple neck, maple fingerboard, truss rod adjustments and the tilt possible.

In short, TV, whatever.
.

UTILIZATION

Fender pleasant to handle. I like
No ergonomics to fall, such as access to acute, but enough
Adjustments-simple sound.
.

SOUNDS

The sound is the TV. Everybody knows. and that's what well.
No need to make a major speech, the history of rock should be sufficient.
.

OVERALL OPINION

The TV is a legend.
With its faults and qualities, but that's why we buy one someday.

I used a few times with some friends, and I prefer the one with the maple fingerboard, because I have a Stratocaster with rosewood fingerboard, and I prefer to play the difference of the shot.

One of the qualities of this skyscraper is that today when you buy one, it's hard to go wrong. It sounds right away.

The high quality of the lady is having a very recognizable sound, and going very well in a group.
In particular, if you want to be sharp and incisive in his clear, the TV is the weapon you need.

No max score because that is very typical.

Go if the max score anyway. ()

Only BMOL, the microphones are quite sensitive to interference collection's outdoor ...

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing to do with the Start or Les Paul, diffrent's all.

The finish is good trs, I just down a bit the height of the bridges up to find my feet.
No regrets about my choice, although prices still rising ...

The Fender telecaster is an great accomplishment for the guitar world. It was the first guitar as introduced by the Fender music company and still today is still one of the most iconic and glorified instruments in the rock 'n roll world. It's a simple design with two single coil pickups with a volume control knob and a tone control knob with a pick up selector. It's in easy guitar and it's just a simple design and really just a classic sound. It has a nice organic sound that is very addictive if you're playing clean amplifiers all the way up to moderately mild gain amplifiers.

UTILIZATION

The tone of these guitars are phenomenal. They give you exactly what you put into them. They have a nice clean shiny tone but you do you give it a little dirt or distortion , they can give you a nice driving sustain tone. These are great guitars for country players all the way up to rock 'n roll players. It has a nice feel and a nice balance overall to the instrument. These necks are a little bit thinner and slimmer than the fender Stratocaster guitars so you can really get that good plucking in solo style down pretty easily with these necks. That's why a lot of country players gravitate towards these instruments is because they can play pretty quickly with their lead and solo rhythm playing. Plus they just sounds great through a clean amplifier which is a little bit of distortion in it.

SOUNDS

If you do play this guitar then if you have a hiking amplifier it will sound excellent as well. I really like these guitars with a nice fender hot rod deluxe amplifier and good overdrive pedal with some digital delay. It gets a great solid rock 'n roll town that is perfect for covers and just general pop or rock music. That would be my perfect combo with this guitar. I have never liked the sound of the Tele with a high gain amp but more with a clean amp with some boosted pedal overdrive.

OVERALL OPINION


I highly recommend a Fender telecaster to any guitar player because it has such a unique sound and feel that is different from any other guitar. So if you have a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster or Paul Reed Smith guitar or anything of that nature. This will go well with your collection of guitars because it has its own unique feel and sound. You're just starting out on the guitar this is a great guitar start with because it has a good basis for burning chords and the feel of the neck is just right.

The Fender Telecaster is the first guitar from the Fender factory and still today continues to be one of the best and most highly recognizable guitars on the planet. They have a great feel and a great tone for country music all the way up to rock and roll music. You can find this guitar used whether it be on stage somewhere or even in the recording studio. Its a great spanky clean tone that gives a fantastic sustain that is unique to this guitar which doesn't sound like a Fender stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul guitar. No other guitar can replicate the sound of this guitar quite as well. It has an easily identifiable tone that has a fantastic sustain and a great feel overall.

UTILIZATION

* Alnico V pickups
* Deluxe hardware
* Solid alder body (black, 3-color sunburst, candy cola, and blizzard pearl) or ash body (2-tone 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 tone of this guitar is a very cleaning tone. It's good to be a tone cuts through the band mix very well and has a nice crisp cut to the overall voicing of the guitar. If you couple this with a clean amplifier than your to get some solid nice sparkly tones. If you using this with a high gain amplifier and you're still probably going be lacking in the gain saturation because the the single coil pickups. This guitar just doesn't have that beefy thick tone like a Gibson Les Paul or Gibson Explorer guitar that features a mahogany wood with a humbucker pickup install. Is good to be a guitar that has a chimy and percussive snappy tone.

OVERALL OPINION

These are great sounding guitars and they have a distinct tone all to themselves. If you are a guitar player who has a guitar collection or if you're looking for that specific tone that you hear your head or that maybe why your favorite artists play this is going to be very particular tone so I suggest playing one of these guitars before buying it at least online. You can find them for right around $1000 or so and they are very easily to find in the used classified sections of forums or even on eBay.

Any good only regret the bridges are not vintage but it is still good with it!
With time and the slap of the discovery last, I would add one small problem: The microphone is good but the quality of the violin can make the purchase of microphones péchus more feasible. The same applies to mécanniques are still correct.
In short, a violin not perfect but good for the price level seems to me correct.

UTILIZATION

The neck (all maple with me) is a real massacre !!!!! While the kings of Shreds really will not like. In fact the handle is not an ironing board but it is very ergonomic. Let me explain: it is slightly curved on the top which is great for swinging arrangements for hours without getting tired but this may baffled at large displacements on the handle.

SOUNDS

No complaints from its pure fender with a neck pickup for rhythm and nikel a bridge pickup that how to say ..... "Twang" like hell every time it's nirvana!
Well measured intermediate position, the emphases in emerge atttaques particularly well.
Delta tone is nice too but nothing frankly staggering.

OVERALL OPINION

A great little scratch to the sound we love tv
Well above models mex I've tried.

First of all, hello everyone!
Fender Telecaster American series (018402700) 3colors sunburst.
Factory-American
-22 Boxes
-Maple fingerboard
Handle-type "C"
... Telecaster everything over standard ...!

Note max because that's all I expected.

UTILIZATION

I think this type of neck Fender ttrès are easy to learn, as thin and narrow enough not to have felt like a log in his hands.
I also play a Gibson Les Paul Classic, and I wanted something diametrically opposed to the level of touch, you win. Contrary to an opinion that was asked earlier, I think the weight is pretty insignificant in the face of tanks gibson ... I think it's honest.
I put 9 because I feel comfortable playing really great, I saw this since I scratch, just a little flat for access to acute that will not be easy for small mimine ...

Weight checked on a request: 3.5 kg for telecaster
against 4.4 kg for a Gibson Les Paul Classic

SOUNDS

Coming from the world of punk rock, so I played on Gibson Les Paul Classic + mesa rectoverb, need power, and contrast with 2nd guitar on Yamaha Pacifica + Laney VH100R.
Marriage is good because very complementary.

Today only guitarist, I prefer to opt for versatility.
So tele + mesa, the clean sound is very good, warm and clear (maybe not as much as Fender + fender banging, I grant you).

On boosted channel, low gain, the sound is very warm, and as soon as you start typing in the high gain, we quickly realized the wonderful dynamics of this guitar.

Even putting the two knobs at the bottom of the guitar, piano attack very clear sound casi / crunchy, and when you start to pick the oatmeal, you feel the power and reach the edge.

Still better than having to manage one or more pedals to the feet, you can clearly handle the size of your attack with his right hand and that's really good, this guitar is an extension of my soul, there is no other word ...
The Les Paul is very hard to hold at that level, it comes out right away too ...

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar bought 2 months ago € 1200 in stores, compared with a 50th anniversary stratovolcano (very good too!), I find that the tele goes further in cutting edge, cutting ...

great versatility, there's only move the selector microphones to realize ...
That said I would not use it either to play the big metal big huge distortion, I think it is more its reach, it takes humbucker ...

That said, I recommend strongly to all those (and those!) Who are looking to try this instrument, because as you know, this is only my opinion.
As soon as I got it in the hands I knew I will leave with ...

Good hunting everyone, feel free to mail me if need more info (n.gaillard357 @ laposte.net)
