The look, sound and vibe of the Telecaster resonate throughout the history and soundscapes of popular music. From orchestra pits to mosh pits; small clubs to stadiums and garages to recording studios, its signature sound is everywhere. The new American Standard Telecaster still has the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability. Learn More...

"real American Gem!"
Feature:
Very straight forward, simple and basic guitar. No tremoro or anything. You just take out of case and play! I love the simplicity.

Quality:
It's a true American beauty at affordable price.

Value:
I think it's alright. I would pay what I have paid. I just love this guitar.

Desirability:
I wanted real American made tele for all my life. And I finally got it! Wa Hoo!

Sound:
I wish the pick up has little bit more punch, but I guess tele sounds like that, isn't it?

Overall:
It's a very simple guitar that sounds straight rock n' roll. I love it!
