Fender Telecaster

"When it first came out, the Tele’s design was nothing short of revolutionary – its simple and functional solid body significantly reduced different feedback issues and made room for higher sound amplification. The single-coil pickups give Telecaster recognisable bright, cutting tones, and its beauty lies in its simplicity and durability. Today, this guitar is a classic in the music industry and one that’s been very much appreciated by the greats like Keith Richards, Albert Collins, James Burton, and Bruce Springsteen."

"Throughout modern music history, the Fender Telecaster has played a huge part in the evolution of country music. From Western swing in the 1940s and ’50s, the Bakersfield and Nashville sounds in the ’60s, the Outlaw movement in the ’70s and the country rockers that top the charts today, the Telecaster is the sound of country. With its signature twang and resonance, and its reputation as the instrument of the “working musician,” the Telecaster asserted itself as a country mainstay right from the very beginning."
