All user reviews of 5/5 for the Fender American Telecaster [2000-2007]

Guitar factory in the USA, mine dates from 2007 (before the introduction of the new American Standard Series). It is hard tui book, with some accessories (jack, cloth rglage cl).
Alder body, rosewood handle Saddle with 22 frets, pickups Fender U.S. American Series bridge with strings through-six bridges, this is essentially.
The finish is good trs, the frets do not hang. For those looking for really small bte CONTRL the volume on mine silent loose.
The varnish is a little fragile (it does not wear out gradually as a nitro lacquer Highway One, but he can not bear the slightest shock).

UTILIZATION

Personally I love the neck profile, it can easily play in bars or from the thumb on top. CHAC is good for acute without being exceptional (we feel the heel), the guitar is well balance.
The sound is on, all fawns no thirty six thousand possible combinations!
Question comfort, Tele with no bevel is done better elsewhere, but we also like the Tele for its default!

SOUNDS

Some criticize him of being chastened by a report MODEL vintage or '52 or '62 RI, the other prfreront and less capricious and mat.
I could compare my Tele Body Alder / rosewood fingerboard with another body American Series frne / key stocky, it sounds more "smooth", less slamming, but it remains even when the typical grain, slightly sour, the Telecaster, it passes easily into a mix.
The neck pickup is smooth the sharp slap well.

OVERALL OPINION

I have over the past year, I love it! I tried a Nashville and Highway 1, it is clearly in the range above, in terms of sound and finish.
The price is the absolute lev stepfather just in the range, but the box is included.

- USA tele standart,
- Fixed bridge "fender" typical 80 with its six bridges
- 2 volume and tone pots + 1 slcteur microphone positions 3 (severe, Mlenge, acute)
- Channel Profile "C" rather fine

UTILIZATION

- Channel trs so late while a pice Saddle: single, sober, "devilishly comfortable" !!!!!
- Good Access in acute, m ^ me time is a 22 round boxes,
- Ergonomics, although this is a cot and not a strat tl, then one may have to adapt (but rest assured you've trs quickly!)
- On the tl "sound" is "radical" (typ but it has to be loved !!!!)

SOUNDS

- Ah! Yes it is a style of my zik "rock n 'roll" and then jazz blues brf I'm not going all the deficits!!
- Play a 30-channel MarshallJTM clear! rve is an on-air le'Marshall Anniversary in crunch ... What up!! for all types of amplifiers is a guitar that is played in "clear" "crunch" and not with mga saturations or it loses its "identity"
- I get this beautiful Grae's "clear" dry and crunchy, oily and dry as trs typ but hey it's good for is that I have also chosen!
- I love the whole look, well, comfort "can a rude" and especially what "his" typical dry m ^ me was empty, not a branch it sound projection of hell ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I bought this guitar in 2001, for the record I was looking for a "Start" and as in addition to being a fan of Clapton I'm a fan of Richie Kotzen ... I say all the fawn that j'achte tl now or later ... bullshit because I took time to tame! I had a good year before they can do it "sounds" like I wanted what I like most everything bein ... I love the sound, comfort, look, I must say mine is red with a plate mtallise gray celluloid has a mouth of hell ... (go see it on my profile!) Mystra one accompanied him: the number "2" martel derrire his head, I look far and in fact I knew that dernirement c'tait by what it silent "second CATEGORY" a sort was done in factories at the time of expditions (source Fender France) for a second-digger! it sounds, I got shovels and I still have some (not counting the one I try and I play with my friends rgulirement) and much is my guitar "prf re "!!!! yes I would do without this choice hsitations

As the title states, this Telecaster is American made, which is always a good thing with Fender. It has a standard bridge, a maple neck (though I've seen variations), maple fretboard, two single-coil pickups with a three way switch, a volume and a tone knob below the strings.

UTILIZATION

The cutaway on this guitar does provide really easy access to the higher frets, which is great news for lead players. The sound, actually the range of sounds, are pretty easy to get. It might require time for less seasoned players to get the sound they are looking for, but the diversity of tones is actually the main selling point of the instrument. It's a bit heavier than some Fender guitars, but nowhere near as heavy as a Gibson Les Paul, and the shape is standard Tele. The drivers are stable on my instrument, at least. Playing this guitar is a dream, it's very smooth and it's not taxing on the fingers at all.

SOUNDS

The Tele sounds really great with a Marshall or Fender amps. A bit noisier than Les Pauls, they still manage to rock pretty hard, and are capable of beefier tones than my normal go-to, my Strat. I like the range of tones that you can get with simple amp and pickup manipulation. Even without tons of gain or effects, you can go from a thick, jazzy tone to a twangy country tone to a ripping electric blues sound easily. With distortion, you can really mess with the pickup selector switch and do some interesting effects (something I learned from Tom Morello in an interview, which I haven't been able to clearly replicate on another guitar). I would say that this guitar, if I needed it to, could suit my style pretty well, since I like to be able to genre-hop.

OVERALL OPINION

I love the versatility of the tones more than anything else, followed closely by the comfort and ability to play. I've tried lesser, cheaper Mexican and Japanese Teles, as well as other brands' imitation Teles, and I've never gotten results as thrilling as the ones I did with this. I think that this is a great purchase, and it's worth it to seek out a high-quality, preferably older used model than a newer one. It's worth the investment because you won't find yourself getting frustrated with it as you mature as a player, the way I did with many other guitars.

The Fender American Series Telecaster has 22 frets two single coil pickups. It has knobs for controlling the volume and tone and has a switch for selecting between the pickups. The set up of the Tele is easy to follow and is easy to get a great sound out of - just let it rip!

UTILIZATION

The American Telecaster is extremely easy to play and feels great overall. It is great for playing both lead and rhythm and it has a classic Tele body which has become so ubiquitous in rock music. It isn't heavy and is really easy to get a good sound out of - both pickups sounds great and is easy to get both a great rhythm tone and a great lead tone.

SOUNDS

I have used guitar for only rock and pop music, as this is what I play most of the time. It definitley works for both applications as the inherent tone is rich and is especially great for classic rock. It sounds great both clean and with overdrive but have found that it isn't suited for heavy distortion, but is great with more of an overdrive distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been playing the American Telecaster for about three years. Like a lot of people I have come to love both the overall feel and sound of the Telecaster. Since it is made in America it is very well built and is the best Telecaster you can buy. It has a unique tone and is great for playing rock n roll. The price is set right for an instrument like this and is comparable to an American Stratocaster. Both are great guitars and have great tone quality - some people like Teles and some like Strats, I like both of them as they are each unique with varieying feels and tones. Overall the Fender American Telecaster is a classic guitar that continues to be a mainstay in rock music.
