Guerilla Guitar Review
Fender ’60s Telecaster With Bigsby – Twang With A Twist Cary Jan 17th
One of the short comings of Fender’s venerable Telecaster line of guitars has always been its lack of a tremolo system (which of course comes standard on the Stratocaster.)
So if you’re a fan of that Tele twang, like me, but wishing you could bend those strings like a Strat, you might just take a look at the new Fender ’60s Telecaster with Bigsby.
The price range is excellent for a custom Telecaster (it’ll set you back around $850 US) and it sports a solidly built Bigsby “F” vibrato tailpiece, so you can bend to your heart’s content. Otherwise it’s got everything you’d expect from a Tele, including a pair of vintage-styled Tele single-coil pickups, and of course that highly playable neck.
