Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe ultimate early rock 'n' roll sound
The Telecaster. It's been around since the dawn of rock 'n' roll. First released in the 1950s, its uniquely bright, superbly raw sound has been a staple of popular music ever since. The Vintera 50s Tele has been designed to the same specs as classic '50s Telecasters. So as a result, it delivers all of the punchy, powerful tone that the original became renowned for. Whether you're after sharp, singing notes from the bridge pickup, or bigger, more dominating tones from the neck, this has got it all. Experience a legend.
Tremendous playability
Before the Telecaster, the guitar playing experience was very different. Often necks were overly thick and difficult to get your hand around. But the Tele's classic slim "U" neck changed the game. Bringing extra comfort but enough of a chunky feel to make hitting every note easy, it set an example of just how effortless playing an electric guitar could be. And it's sculpted from the maple on the Vintera Telecaster for an even more luxurious feel. Let music flow easily from your fingertips.
Stunning definition in every note
Quality materials. They’re the key to creating excellent sound in a guitar. So, Fender haven't compromised with the woods they've used to make this model. Solid alder has been used for the body which is a go-to in premium electric guitars because its responsive nature accommodates every genre and playing style. You’ll be able to go from playing deep power chords to sweet arpeggios, and everything in between. It also has a top-class maple fretboard. A favourite among guitarists, this is a wood that’s renowned for its bright quality and ability to make riffs and solos stand out.
Travel back in time
Everything about the Fender Vintera Telecaster has been designed to the era-correct specifications of the original Telecaster models in the '50s. So when you play one, you can feel the classic, iconic spirit of the decade surging through every note you strike. With a vintage, road worn aesthetic and hardware, brass barrel saddles, and of course the wonderfully sharp rock 'n' roll sound delivered from the '50s-voiced pickups, every inch of this instrument is reminiscent of a golden age of music. And it comes with a deluxe gigbag so you can easily take it to gigs and practice.
