Developed by Leo Fender in 1949, the Fender Telecaster is the guitar that started a music revolution. Prior to its creation, there were a few other electric guitars in existence – but the "Tele” is the one that really took off.

The construction of the Telecaster is an example beautiful simplicity. Unlike many guitars of the time, the Tele did not need to be constructed all-at-once by a luthier. The parts were all manufactured separately and then assembled later. This was made possible by the revolutionary bolt-on neck design and removable scratch & control plates. These features not only made manufacturing a breeze – they made repairs and upgrades easier than ever before.

A punchy, bright tone sparkles and cuts through any mix when using the bridge pickup on a Tele. Move the pickup selector to the middle, and you blend the bridge pickup in to the warm, soft, piano-like tones of the neck pickup. You also get a hum-cancelling effect in this position, with a great balance of the two pickup tones – this is why so many Tele players are known to favor the middle pickup position.

The Telecasters in production today are very true to the originals in construction and tone, although there are many variations on the Tele theme to be experienced. Beyond the two single coil model, there are reissues of the 72 Deluxe and 72 Custom Telecaster models, both featuring Fender Wide Range Humbuckers. There is also the Thinline Tele, featuring a semi-hollow body cavity with an F-shaped soundhole. Add to this the myriad of other special editions and signature artist models – and there’s a flavor of Tele for everyone – from country slide to blues, rock and yes – even metal.

The Fender Telecaster is the oldest solid-body electric guitar in production today, and with new players joining the legacy every day, it certainly shows no signs of stopping. Browse our selection below and find the Tele that suits your personality and style!
