About this deal

The '68 version has two standard Telecaster single-coil pickups, [31] string-through-body bridge, and a choice of an ash or mahogany body. The Telecaster is popular because of its ability to produce both a bright, rich cutting tone (the typical Telecaster country twang) and a mellow, warm, bluesy jazz tone depending on the selected pickup, respectively "bridge" pickup or "neck" pickup, and by adjusting the tone control. The archetypical Fender Telecaster is a solid-body electric guitar with a flat asymmetric single-cutaway body; the body is usually made from alder or swamp ash. The middle position turned off the dark circuit, and turned on the tone control knob for the neck pickup.

Keeping to that authentic Tele feel, Seymour Duncan hand assemble the bobbin with the period correct colour and thickness Forbon and alnico 5 rod magnets, then lacquer it before winding. Fender Mexican Teles are built in their Mexican factory and are the entry point into the Fender lineup. The first position stayed the same as before, with the neck pickup in "dark circuit" treble-cut mode. Rather than being constructed individually as in traditional luthiery, instruments were produced quickly and inexpensively from components on an assembly line.Apart from (or perhaps due to) this simplicity, there’s a directness and rawness to them which seems to set them apart. With a three-way selector and only two pickups, the American Elite Telecaster is simpler than the American Elite Stratocaster. Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play. While this has changed over time with new reincarnations of the guitar, [25] this was a highly unorthodox approach in its day as guitars traditionally featured rosewood or ebony fingerboards glued onto mahogany necks.

The Alnico Pro Tele Rhythm uses a vintage-style coil wind, and sand cast alnico 2 rod magnets, along with a deep drawn chrome plated brass cover for a sweet, hollow tone that sounds great both clean and dirty. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best. The lead pickup uses a powerful ceramic magnet, dual steel blades, and over-wound coils combine to provide a raw, heavy tone with amazing sustain. The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.We use cookies to analyse site usage, provide social media features and personalise content and ads. The J5 Triple Tele Deluxe is similar to the regular Telecaster Deluxe, in that it has 22 frets and a 3 way selector switch for the pickups, [28] but it featured three Fender Wide Range humbuckers and a chrome pickguard. The Creamery has no affiliation with these companies and names are used only for descriptive purposes. The American Performer retains most of the American Special's features, but with upgrades such as the Fender Yosemite pickups, Classic Gear tuners, and new colors. In particular the neck is virtually identical to the american standard (save for some finishing of the medium jumbo frets) including the finish.

This system applies a constant force throughout the cast, determined by the magnets’ proximity to the spool. This guitar is popular amongst Metal and Hardcore guitarists, alongside its Stratocaster counterpart. This body style was later released as the Fender Telecaster Bass in 1968 after the Precision Bass had been changed in 1957 to make it more closely resemble the Fender Stratocaster guitar. Controls include a dual concentric volume pot for each pickup, a master tone and 3-way pickup switching.My maple-board 50s era Tele and Strat are close behind, but if forced to choose, it's always early 60s Fender, for me. Typical modern Telecasters (such as the American Standard version) incorporate several details different from the classic form.
