Fender American Telecaster HH [2005-2006]

One thing I love about the fender telecaster is it simple and yet to fine beauty and tone. Nothing much has changed since first introduction to the music world 60+ years ago except for some few minor tweaks here and there but overall it's still remains to be a classic and heavily used guitar in the world. It has two single coil pick ups one volume control, one tone control knob, and the simple pickup selector and there isn't much more basic as far as guitar features and options under a Telecaster. It's a very easy guitar and a perfect balance guitar as well. Overall this is a very fun guitar if you play any kind I clean music country music, pop, or rock music. It has a soulful sound in you can really hear the nice tone within the instrument.

UTILIZATION


Generally these guitars are made of ash wood and maple necks and sometimes you can find them in alder wood or swamp ash body . They're pretty light in nature and generally I've never seen one in a mahogany wood or anything of a warm body would. This gives a very snappy attack very focused tone which is why many country players will pick up guitar over other guitars.

SOUNDS


These guitars work in any setting in any amplifier that you use. 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. Run those pedals with this guitar you can get some great sonic tones. 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.

OVERALL OPINION


I have to recommends this guitars because they're such a versatile guitar with a very defined in unique sound. Have a unique sustaining and just a unique fuel overall. The neck is a very thin neck but not quite as thin as an Ibanez guitar neck. Is a very snappy quick feeling across the neck and fretboard so is good for riffing soloing and lead line playing. You can find these in the use market very easily because there's a lot of them out there. If you have a chance to pick one up I highly recommended.

The center telecaster is an exceptional guitar with the great singing sustain any good voicing for most pop rock and country music. This is a cat guitar you grab when you're looking to record or play a nice pop tune or nice rock riffs. This is also the guitar that most country musicians grab when trying to achieve their perfect chicken picking tone.

The Fender telecaster is one of the most easily recognizable body shapes on any guitar that you've ever seen. It's a classic iconic look that appeals to guitarist from every generation. The teachers to single coil pickup's to pick up selector in volume control knob and eight tone control knob. This particular one has a great black paint job with a white pick guard on a maple neck and fretboard. The color combination is a good contrast and really makes the eyes pop when you see it in person.

SOUNDS


The tone of the Fender telecaster is a great tone that it's a solid tone for most musical styles. This is not to be in metal players guitar or excel and drop tunings for give you a great tone for country rock and pop music. The pick ups are not that great of pick ups and I'm never been a fan of their pickups even though these are the alnico V pick ups. I would suggest replacing knees with a good Seymour Duncan how to go pick up as I have done in other telecasters that I've owned. This is a great guitar for someone who needs a solid sounding and very resonant and warm tone.

The wood that is used on this guitar is a nice solid alder body with a maple neck and a maple fretboard. This gives the tone a very resonant sharp and lighter tone. It's not to be a very warm tone compared to a mahogany wood but it's can be warm in the sense that it resonates and has a good overall tone for blending in a band makes very well. I like these guitars with any amplifier that you have such as a marshal or a fender amplifier. It sounds exceptional in a clean setting or just a clean amp in general. The neck is very fast and smooth which gives most country players a benefit when they're doing those single note and lead line playing.

OVERALL OPINION


At new you can find his guitar show right around a thousand dollars which some exceptional price for American built Fender telecaster guitar. This is a great guitar for any musician learning to play the guitar or a professional musician. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for this particular sound but you can be very different than in Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster tone. The voicing in his guitar is very natural inorganic and we'll see most music styles very well.

Fender telecaster is a fun guitar if you really like the good clean playing and a solid medium to low gain type of guitar. This is a guitar that many country players are going to turn into a mini soft rocking in you rock players are going to turn to for the guitar needs. It has a good tone in a unique sustain and the feeling of comfort ability of the top guitar overall is quite exceptional. You have two single coil pickups the body shape is pretty dance it doesn't have the natural tendencies to get a good solid distortion from. It has a good harmonics in good overtones when you use in conjunction with a decent delay pedal or a Fender amp of amplifier of some sort. It's a fun guitar and many people I think overlook this guitar because of just the popularity of the Fender Stratocaster and only having to single coil pickup's. That's just assumption it probably theory of mine for I think that this guitar gets a second rate from any guitar players. But overall this is a great sounding in a great feeling guitar and for someone he needs that specific telecaster sound which no other guitar can replicate and this is the only way to go.

SOUNDS

The tone of it is very unique. It doesn't sound like a Fender Stratocaster or a Fender Jaguar or anything other than that Fender makes. It has its own style and own flavor in the voicing of it really lends itself to a good solid low rock tone. But even a country players going to grab his guitar because its neck is very comfortable. It's easy to play lead lines and country lickes with this instrument.


I really like the tar sound when you couple it with a good solid vintage Fender amplifier and maybe even use some decent delay pedal for some ethereal sounds but you also need a good overdrive pedal to combine with this guitar. The pit pick up some these guitars are very good so I suggest swapping those out for some Seymour Duncan pick ups. They have decent pick ups but nothing that comes close to Seymour Duncan pick up. To swap those out to grab a good analog delay pedal and probably a decent overdrive or distortion paddle in your to have a great guitar set up this go to fit in most band purposes.

OVERALL OPINION


I highly recommend everyone and every guitar player to own a telecaster at that will give its user a lot of hours of great playing and inspiration. I knew you can find his guitar for right around $1100 which is a great price if you looking for a good quality American made guitar. He has a great feeling in a great balance and overall the neck is what really sells it for me on this guitar. point in their career. It's a great sounding guitar to very unique guitar

Fender telecaster is a fun and spanky tight guitar. It is a good clean sustaining tone that is very different than the Fender Stratocaster town. You get us sustain that is a single coil sustain that is it over the top game but gives a good deal with the body shape that it is.

The features are pretty minimal and this guitar you have a two single coil pickup a volume control knob and a tone control knob. You also have a pick up selector switch that goes to each picked up. And that is pretty much about it when it comes to features wise for this guitar.

SOUNDS

The tone of the fender telecaster is a unique tone that has a clean sustained town that is kind of a blend between a Fender Stratocaster and maybe a humbucker mahogany guitar. It's able to have a good ring to it that is good for blues music and country music. This guitar also excels it pretty much anything musically you can put it in except for new modern and metal tones. This guitar is made out of ash wood which gets a little thinner sound with it some maple neck. It sings well with clean guitar suit settings because of the lighter wood tone. These woods are brighter in the woods spectrum so therefore the grinding gainey distortion towns won't come out as well as a mahogany humbucker guitar. But when you put it in a mile overdrive or clean amplifier and this is where this guitar comes to life.

OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend these guitars to anyone who knows a telecaster sound is looking for exactly that. At new these guitars come in right around $1100 which is a great price for an American made fender telecaster. These are exceptional guitars for dating musician or recording musician and I highly recommend anyone to own one of these at some point.
