General

The Fender Telecaster is the ultimate workhorse and was responsible for unleashing a true musical revolution. Its instantly recognisable sound and style laid the foundations for modern country, blues and even hard rock thanks to Jimmy Page. This American Original '50s Telecaster has all of the elements that made the Tele so popular in both the studio and on stage over the years. It combines authentic sound with a modern feel and comes complete with a vintage-style hardshell case.

American Original ‘50s Telecaster: Tasty Twang

It's clear that Fender have been careful to ensure this Telecaster maintains an authentic sound. As such, the ash body is mounted with two Pure Vintage '52 Single-Coil Tele pickups that take care of the traditional twang this instrument is renowned for. The neck has a 1952 U profile that fits your hand perfectly for a high level of playing comfort. Finally, the black pickguard contrasts beautifully with the Butterscotch Blonde finish to give this iconic guitar a great look.

Wrote the following about Fender American Original '50s Telecaster Butterscotch Blonde MN

Ik heb de laatste maanden veel tijd besteed om de juiste Telecasters aan mijn arsenaal toe te voegen. Ik zocht naar de juiste kleur, Butterscotch (geel), en een esdoorn (maple) hals. Na veel reviews gelezen te hebben en geluisterd naar YouTube reviews, heb ik uiteindelijk voor voor dit model gekozen.

Ik moet toegeven dat toen ik de guitaar voor de eerste keer uit de koffer nam mijn verwachtingen overtroffen waren. Body uit een (1) blok essen, dus niet twee, drie of vier aan elkaar gelijmde blokken. De kleur en lak precies waar ik al die tijd van gedroomd had. De afwerking en zelfs de afstelling wat men verwacht van een guitaar in deze prijs klasse.

Ik moet wel toegeven dat de "U" hals voor mij wel even wennen was omdat geen enkele van mijn guitaren deze vorm hebben. Na een paar uurtjes was ik hier wel aan gewend, maar toch wel iets om te vermelden denk ik.

De elementen en elektronica klonken zoals ik gehoopt had en ik ben zeer tevreden met al de drie standen.

Tot slot, de fotos op de website geven echt een verkeerd beeld van de kleuren, de hals is niet zoals op de site bijna wit, maar heeft bijna dezelfde kleur als de body, dus echt een harmonish geheel. Ik ben meer dan tevreden met mijn keuze en heb geen spijt dat ik meer geld uitgegeven heb voor dit model.
