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

Tele 24 frets United States a short tele what?

UTILIZATION

The handle is a great tele mache round enough, access to acute is huge, superb ergonomics (perfect balance ...) who has a gibson will not be out of place tro side handle (cons with nothing to do .. .: p)

SOUNDS

With a micro Di Marzio bridge (because the original bolt a bit and lacks aggressiveness) is sublime! a distortion that starts like clockwork greasy ideal for rock / metal / pop my marshall began badly bear! , What about the neck pickup ... good it feels that there is a reverb built into a very clean punchy! ideal for blues / funk / acoustic frankly it's superb! against distortion in by the neck pickup is horrible but the di Marzio is for! I put 10

OVERALL OPINION

It's frankly a beautiful jewelry! I'm really a fan of fender telecaster in particular (the layers are thinner neck is always a different type of games) are excellent models US EXCEPT original bridge pickup and electronics that could have been more neat but with all the remakes has OCCAZ where I put my di Marzio is the thunder I have the equivalent of a deluxe, in short a beautiful skyscraper that will please any fan of telecaster ...

The fender telecaster is a cool and fun's guitar. It has a good field to the body and the neck is an exceptional feeling. The neck. Overall is a very thin or neck my hands than a Fender Stratocaster and deathly more than a Gibson Les Paul. This guitar neck is not quite in Ibanez guitar neck but is pretty close. It usually has a poly finish on the back where is an Ibanez neck is a boiled neck. So the neck itself is in the snooze but you can always get that sanded off.

The center telecaster is an iconic guitar in such a great guitar for most solid music. Many country players will turn to this guitar more than any other guitar due to its very percussive sound and note separation. All of the notes when you play or strum or even any kind of lead line racing are very separated from each other. This allow someone to play a medium to low gain setting and would really cut those tones and notes in the mix. They have a very fast neck so country players also like the tone of this guitar.

SOUNDS

I really like the time of this guitar when you couple it with a good medium to low gain amplifier such as a center twin reverb or send her hot Rod deluxe amplifier. Those amplifiers are just made for guitars and vice versa. When you use a nice overdrive pedal and a good analog delay pedal or course petal. Overall this is a great guitar for any hard rock player all the way down to me any rock or country player. All the rock guitar players in England grab this guitar because of it's great for success of tone and overall three-dimensional tone. It feels good in the mix and just a great overall guitar it does have some single coil pick up, so you will need to really beef up your distortion if you want to play this in a hard rock setting.

OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend this guitar to anyone is wanting a good solid clean American guitar. I knew you can find these guitars right around $1100 which is still at the price in my opinion. It's a fun guitar and a good complement to your guitar collection. I would recommend swapping out the pick ups for a better output pick up such as some Seymour Duncan's because the fender pickups are not very good overall. Don't get the job done but you can find a better pick up which really bring this guitar to life.

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

I have played numerous Teles over the years and I've noticed that the newest 2010-2011 American Standard Teles are just really great guitars. They're simple, but effective guitars. The improvements made by Fender in the finish, electronics, hardware and quality in the last few years is great and I would definitely say they're on their game as far as quality control and putting out a great guitar, even for the $1,000 price point or so that these guitars are selling for. The necks in particular are something that I have been very impressed with recently. The satin finish that they use is really comfortable and pleasing to the hand. I can play for longer periods of time and not get that annoying stickiness that is commonplace with gloss finished necks. The features of the new Teles are great and it shows how much care Fender put into making a killer workhorse guitar for those who wanted it.

UTILIZATION

The Tele is not my favourite guitar to play all the time simply because you have to fight it a little bit more compared to a Les Paul or even a Strat. The design itself is very much a "plank." It's a flat guitar with no contouring of note, so there can be some discomfort there if you're playing for longer periods of time. The weights of the Teles I've tried vary, but they're usually medium to heavy weight guitars, so they're definitely not the most ergonomic guitar I've ever seen. I can't imagine a problem with long gigs for me (being that my main guitar is a non-chambered Les Paul) so that wouldn't be a major issue for me. Upper fret access is reasonable. It's not the greatest in the world by any means but I haven't had any major issues with it, and the satin neck finish on the new American Standard Teles does facilitate fast playing and going up and down the neck quite well.

Getting a good tone out of the Tele is very simple. This guitar gives back what you put into it. If you play softly with lots of dynamics and a cleaner sound, it reproduces that quite well. However if you really dig into it and are using a brighter, more brash sort of sound, it works equally as well with that sort of tone. It's not for everyone but if you're really into a purer sound, you can't get much more pure than the ol' plank known as the Telecaster.

SOUNDS

I've tried these Teles through various Fender, Marshall, Dr. Z and Mesa Boogie amplifiers, all with excellent results. Teles are a lot more versatile and widespread sounding than some people give credit for. It's a very dynamic and true sounding guitar that really sings in the hands of a good player. I wouldn't say the sound of a Tele is very forgiving by any means... you certainly will hear your mistakes, so playing a guitar like this will definitely bring your chops up.

Clean tones are the strong point of this guitar. Using the neck pickup and rolling the tone back yields some wonderful jazz tones (surprising from a single coil, I must say). However, the best thing to do with one of these is plug into a clean, loud Fender amp, run the guitar wide open, add a dash of that dripping Fender 'verb and let loose with a barrage of licks that take you down to the highway to Nashville. That sort of tone, very bright and pure is PERFECT for country licks and tricks. Because of it's pure tonal nature, you've got to fight it a bit like I was saying, but once you tame it, it's a wonderful feeling, and possibly a bit more rewarding than playing a very easy guitar.

Dirty tones are great as well from this. The pickups in the American Standard models are hotter than the vintage models so you can apply tasteful amounts of grit for that classic blues or rock tone, or you can increase the gain up to savagely high levels to play some shred licks. I find Teles react best for riff based hard rock (if we're discussing drive based tones) because they have a nice crisp, bright edge that sits really well in a mix, and if you put that with a Les Paul or something dark, it makes for a very well seated mix. I wouldn't say this guitar is great for metal styles due to the noise and the bright nature of the guitar, but for classic/hard rock, provided you can tame the noise from the single coils, it can sound awesome with the right amount of grit applied.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I feel these new American Standard Teles are wonderful and a great part of Fender's line of products. It's a true workhorse and sounds great for many different styles. Though it's not the easiest guitar to play at times (or "tame,") when you get it to do what you want, there isn't a more rewarding feeling in my opinion. For the $1,000 or so that Fender charges and considering the updates they've done on this guitar since about 2008, it's a fantastic bargain for a workhorse musician who wants a plank (albeit a great sounding plank) for their arsenal of guitars.

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.
