FENDER Standard Telecaster 3-Colour Sunburst

Fender Standard Telecaster – 3-Colour Sunburst

The Fender Standard Telecaster delivers one of the most recognisable guitar sounds ever created. Simple, reliable and incredibly versatile, it's a guitar that has found its way into country, rock, blues, indie, pop and countless recordings over the last seventy years.

Finished in classic 3-Colour Sunburst, the Fender Standard Telecaster combines timeless Fender styling with modern playability features that make it an excellent choice for beginners, gigging musicians and experienced players alike.

The lightweight poplar body provides a balanced and comfortable playing experience, while the Modern "C" maple neck features a smooth satin finish that feels fast and comfortable in the hand. Combined with a 9.5" fingerboard radius, bends feel easy and chords remain comfortable whether you're practicing at home or playing on stage.

A pair of Fender Standard ceramic single-coil pickups deliver the unmistakable Telecaster voice. The bridge pickup offers the bright attack, twang and cut that Telecasters are famous for, while the neck pickup provides warmer, fuller tones suited to blues, jazz, clean rhythms and melodic lead work. Together they create a versatile instrument capable of covering a huge range of musical styles.

The string-through-body bridge design helps maximise sustain and tuning stability, while retaining the direct response and punch that has made the Telecaster a favourite among working musicians for generations.
