Nobody wants to feel restricted in performance. And the Telecaster ensures your playing experience is truly enhanced.

But it's not just the body shape. A satin-finished, maple neck is sculpted into a "C" shape, fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand. So, your hands can glide up and down entirety of the Tele's scale for hours of effortless practice and performance. It's layered with a sleek Indian Laurel fretboard, allowing for ultra-smooth transition throughout your playing. Put simply, it plays beautifully. You won't want to put it down.
