Fender - Standard Telecaster SS RW 3-Color Sunburst

A turbulent heir and faithful descendant of the Esquire, this Telecaster was not content to be a simple nostalgic reissue. Fender sharpened it so that it retains all the rage of its predecessors, while gaining in comfort and versatility. Its light poplar body makes it a tireless playing partner, while its maple neck with a Modern C profile ensures a very natural grip. And under its wise airs? A pair of Standard microphones ready to pounce on the slightest plucked string, swinging a sharp and dynamic sound. A real little rebel under its elegant sunburst dress.

Did you think that a Telecaster was just a country guitar? Think again, it has bite under each of its strings. With its Standard single-coil microphones, this Fender has no trouble thinking outside the box. Between a punchy twang and a frank attack, it responds to the finger and the ear, with a strong character. Add to that a string-through-body bridge and satin chrome steel saddles, and you get impeccable resonance. Whether you're a fan of sharp riffs or incisive rhythms, this Tele is ready to take whatever you throw at it.

Those who think that Telecasters are old, untamable beasts have never gotten their hands on this modernized version. Fender has taken care of every detail: from the satin neck, which prevents snags in the middle of a solo, to the rosewood fingerboard that softens slides. Even the 3-position selector falls naturally under the fingers, as if it were reading your thoughts. In short, a guitar that knows how to be forgotten... except when it comes to making noise. Because if it has gained in ergonomics, it has lost none of its bite.
