One thing I love about the Fender Telecaster is that it's a brilliant clean crisp cutting tone that really highlights a guitar player's dynamic playing and nuance. The way guitar player approaches to guitar is different for every single player. However the Fender telecaster guitar really highlights each player's personal touch and tone that's within their fingers and hands. It's not a guitar that will cover up mistakes or will blend in a lot of gainy distortion. This is not a guitar that really adapts to a lot of high gain sounds, but it really excels at the medium all the way down to the clean tone. So the tone is very focused but not in your face. It's a well grounded and sustained focused tone.

SOUNDS


Fender telecaster is a guitar that has its own sound to its self. It doesn't sound like the Fender Stratocaster and doesn't sound like any other instrument that I've ever heard. It has a nice full-bodied tone but very percussive and clean sounding. Each note you pluck or strum you can hear very distinct and separate. It makes playing that much more fun and even recording a blast. Each recording picks up every little thing that you do. So the Fender Telecaster is a great guitar for recording. All because of the frequencies and the tone that is inherit to this guitar really get captured through microphone quite well in a recording session. Whatever rig or effects board you might use with this guitar will be complemented by the character and tone of this instrument.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find these guitars for right around $1800. Overall it's a great instrument and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to pick up this particular sound but not only this sound but a great instrument I will be true and fantastic to any player that uses it. These are great for recording and also very good for gigging as well.
