A classic Tele with American Standard series updates
The Fender Telecaster has steadily maintained its popularity for over half a century. It's hard to imagine improving on such an iconic guitar, but that's exactly what Fender did when the created the American Standard Telecaster®. First, they gave it a new bridge with six American Standard bent steel saddles and a stamped brass plate. This gives you flexible tuning and intonation options, while providing you with the reliability you need. The American Standard Tele's neck carve is also super comfortable, and you'll love the feel of its hand-rolled fretboard edges. Top that off with a premium SKB molded flight case, and you're ready to rock out with your Tele anywhere your music takes you.
Classic Tele design gives you a piece of American-made Fender guitar history
You've probably heard the story before: Leo Fender began designing and building his soon-to-be-iconic guitars over a half-century ago, even though he didn't play guitar himself. The Telecaster represents Fender's first real success. To this day, the Tele remains to be one of the most sought-after guitars, and no matter how often it's been copied, the original always shines through. The American Standard Telecaster continues this legacy by respecting the original while updating it enough to make it better than ever. You're going to love playing your American Standard Tele!
You just can't beat timeless Tele tone
Descended from one of the true "grandaddies" of guitar designs, the American Standard Telecaster retains all the characteristics that make the Tele so popular across all musical genres. Its tone can range from articulate "chicken pickin'" cluck to warm sustain, crunchy power chords to crystal-clear chime. Only a handful of instruments stand out decade after decade, and the American Standard Telecaster's magical blend of playability, utility, and tone definitely puts it in among a select few.
