Fender - Standard Telecaster - Butterscotch Blonde #0266021550
THE STANDARD IS SET
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.Couldn't load pickup availability

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Bridge pickup delivering clarity and bite that no other guitar design can match. Simple, bulletproof controls that never fail on stage. Bolt-on construction providing snappy attack and easy decades of maintenance. The design that built Nashville, powered punk, and defined country-rock.
Bridge pickup with the tone knob rolled to 7 is the sweet spot most players miss - all the twang and bite without any harshness. Add some spring reverb for instant magic.
The Telecaster has been the workhorse of professional music for over 70 years because it does something no other guitar does as well: it sounds right everywhere. Country, rock, blues, punk, indie, jazz - the Tele delivers honest, reliable tone with zero pretense. It's the guitar you buy once and play for the rest of your life.
