The Fender Telecaster tone, appearance and vibe echoes through-out the history of popular music. The Telecaster can be found in anything from orchestra pits to mosh pits, small pubs/clubs to stadiums, home garages to world-class recording studios...its signature sound is everywhere!
The new USA Standard Telecaster still has the alnico V pickups, staggered tuning machines for playability, hand-rolled fingerboard edges and now includes the following great new features:
- A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain.
- A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky, comfortable satin finish.
- A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
- A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
- Two beautiful new finish options, Blizzard Pearl and Crimson Red Transparent.
