Full Description
View Full DescriptionOriginal shape. Modern playability
It doesn't matter if your guitar sounds the best in the world. If it plays bad, it's a waste of time. Luckily, you'll never run into this problem with the Fender Telecaster. The American Original 60s takes inspiration from the original model and updates it for enhanced modern playability. You'll be shredding with lightning speed.
If sophistication could be sculpted, it would look like the American Original neck. Crafted from solid maple, the fingerboard boasts comfort and couture with a 9.5" radius and vintage tall frets. The result is effortless finger positioning that leaves your hands unhindered.
At a 25.5" scale, the full length of the neck is accessible by any level of player. Upper access to the fretboard goes unchallenged, giving you the room to solo without compromise. This is a neck that sings in your hands, resonating with natural clarity and undeniable class.
The bridge between stability and intonation
Huge bends. Heavy chords. Fast solos. These are all the things you're going to love playing on the American Original. But they're also the main culprit for bad tuning. What's the solution? Don't worry. Fender always has one.
Building upon the legacy of the 60s masterpiece, the Tele boasts a vintage style 3-saddle bridge. This bespoke design offers impeccable tuning stability, and allows players to tweak their intonation with the barrel steel saddle.
But this fixed bridge doesn't work alone. It has a partner in crime at the top of the neck. The bridge and Pure Vintage tuning machines join forces to ensure your strings are constantly singing in the right key. That's perfect pitch. And a perfect performance.
Every style of playing. Catered to with precision.
It's no secret that the Original 60s Telecaster has found its way onto countless records, going from dirty distortion to rounded clean with pick attack alone. As one of the most versatile instruments ever created, this signature axe has more than one trick up its sleeve.
From blues to punk, jazz to indie, everything is possible with the Tele's simple but elegant controls. A 3-way selector gives you full command of both pickups, so you can dial your tone until it reaches perfection.
Alongside a sensitive volume pot, the Tele offers high frequency tweaking with the Tone knob. Whether you're looking for punchy brightness or rounded bottom, both controls have you covered.
