A direct descendent of the Esquire® - the earliest Fender® solid-body electric guitar design, the Telecaster® was launched in 1951 with a dual pickup layout for unprecedented amplified performance, quickly becoming a must-have for generations of music makers.
Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures, the Fender Standard Telecaster delivers the approachable playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock & roll. Powered by a set of Fender Standard pickups for high-output sonic character and an inviting “Modern C”-shaped neck for superior playing comfort, this Tele® truly sets the standard for the Fender experience.
