One thing I love about the Fender Telecaster is it's brilliant clean tone and authentic chimy voicing. These guitars are great for country, indie rock, brit rock, all the way up to hard rock music. They have a great sustain any unique sustain unlike any other guitar. There is simple guitar and a great overall feeling guitar.
UTILIZATION
These guitars have a nice smooth thin neck a little bit thinner than a Fender Stratocaster guitar. I would say their necks are closer to a neck of an Ibanez guitar. You have two single coil pickups which ultimately should be replaced with much better boutique style pickups. You have a volume control knob and a tone control knob and a pickup selector switch. There's not a lot of bells and whistles on this guitar but it's just a straight forward rock 'n roll instrument.
SOUNDS
The tone of these guitars are exceptional when you pair them with a nice American amplifier from Fender. I always prefer a fender baseman, a Fender twin reverb, or just about any other fender amplifier that they build. There is an great combination and a chemistry that comes between a Fender Telecaster and a Fender amplifier. It's always good to have a decent overdrive pedal such as an Ibanez tube screamer and some sort of delay or modulation in front of the amplifier. You can get some great sonic tones and brilliant sounds with this set up. It's a simple set up but just a fantastic tone to be had with this guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars are pretty easily to be found in the used and new classifieds. Just about any retailer on the planet carries a fender telecaster and easily come in about $1000 or so. Depending on what re-issue it is or what build it is office custom shop will determine the actual cost but they're pretty inexpensive American guitars. I highly recommend this to anyone is looking for this particular sound that is unique to its own. Their fun guitars and their basic guitar for recording and gigging.
