Standard Tele Is A Workhorse Of A Guitar Cary Jan 6th

Fender Standard TelecasterThe Fender Standard Telecaster has got to be one of the best deals going when it comes to quality, price, sound, and easy playability. Seriously, the Tele packs quite a whallop in the punchy tone department, and for around $350 US you get one solidly built guitar that has no problem being heard over even the loudest rhythm section.

And with a modern fast-action neck, you really can’t ask for easier fretting. I personally love the smaller size of the Tele’s fingerboard, which makes for shorter finger stretches, and much simpler chording (though it could be a tight fit if you have really big hands!)

The string-through-body bridge can be a bit tricky for stringing at first, but from my experience you quickly learn how to manage it. Dual single-coil pickups offer some serious punch when you need it, and a surprisingly mellow tone when it’s required.
