Fender Classic Player Triple Tele Electric Guitar, Black

Full Description

Alder Body and Maple Neck

Constructed from an Alder body with bolt-on Maple neck, the Fender Classic Player Tele is lightweight and produces a thick and dynamic tone with plenty of balance and power thanks to the soft and light nature of the wood. Additionally the ''C'' shaped Maple neck provides a smooth playability with a bright and punchy tone.

String Through Construction

The Classic Player Triple Tele incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain by transferring both vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the vintage-style bridge and passes through the body.

Resonant Synthetic Bone Nut

Featuring a carefully fitted synthetic bone nut the Classic Player Triple Tele delivers an increased resonance and brighter tonality. When compared to traditional plastic and Tusq materials used to construct guitar nuts, synthetic bone improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.

Unrivaled Quality and Craftsmanship

Since 1987, the skilled craftsmen in Fender's Corona, California ''dream factory'' have been producing guitars that are known worldwide for their artistry and unrivaled quality. Ranging from the fine to the fantastic, whether it's building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best. These wonderful instruments have been crafted for and with the input of the world's finest guitarists such as Clapton, Springsteen, Cray, Gilmour, Townshend, Wilko Johnson and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name just a few.

The History of the Telecaster

The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster. An indispensable instrument, the Telecaster was the world's first successful solid-body electric guitar. Perfected after two years of development - and a name change or two - the Telecaster debuted in February 1951 and began its steady ascent towards the stage and studio. Ingeniously engineered with the ability to be heard both loud and clear, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse functionality.
