The two single-coil pickups of this Tele have just a little more output than a vintage pickup, giving your guitar sound more punch and bite. The Telecaster is a real workhorse, made to perform day after day after day.

Whether you play country, punk, rock or metal, there's no getting around a Telecaster.

The best of then and now

Despite the '70s style logo on its headstock and its distinctive classic shape, the Standard Telecaster has several modern features, such as fully shielded recesses for electronics and pickups that counter unwanted noise and that typical 50Hz hum. Also, the neck has a modern C profile, medium jumbo frets for easier string-pressing and high-quality self-lubricating machine heads. The vintage-style ash tray bridge has made room for a more modern bridge with six adjustable saddles for optimal tuning and intonation.
