A direct descendent of the Esquire® - the earliest Fender®
solid-body electric guitar design, the Telecaster® was launched
in 1951 with a dual pickup layout for unprecedented amplified
performance, quickly becoming a must-have for generations of
music makers.
Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures,
the Fender Standard Telecaster delivers the approachable
playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock &
roll. Powered by a set of Fender Standard pickups for high-output
sonic character and an inviting “Modern C”-shaped neck for
superior playing comfort, this Tele® truly sets the standard for
the Fender experience.
