As Fender's first model with humbucker pickups, it was released in 1972 at the same time as Telecaster Deluxe and Thinline Telecaster (version II), which were variations of Telecaster. It was discontinued in 1981, so it is not a long-selling model, but it is still loved by many players today due to its use by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. It is equipped with Wide Range Humbucker pickups developed for Fender by Seth Lover, the creator of the Gibson humbucker.Compared to other models, this model is equipped with high-output pickups that incorporate the trends of the times while keeping the characteristics of the Telecaster firmly in mind, so it can be said that this model is a perfect match between the Gibson sound and the Fender sound. As expected, this guitar has lived for more than 50 years, so the overall scratches are noticeable, but it has a stature worthy of the vintage name.If you are interested in this guitar, please check it out.

About Telecaster

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
