2011 Fender American Standard Telecaster (Black) Demo

This is my first American made guitar since I sold my 1973 Gibson Les Paul Cherry Sunburst in 1985. It is a Limited Edition for 2011 as its the 60th Anniversary of Telecasters from Fender. The body is Alder (black model). The two tone burst model uses ash for the body.

@coltranelovetrain

Thanks!

I wish I could of panned down to my left foot and shown the wah pedal in use.

I think that would of been interesting to the viewer.

Nice! Not sure about those Strat type saddles tho, they just look weird on a Tele. But if they sound good, I guess one could get used to it.

Hello,

Thank you for watching and commenting!

I dont really pay attention to them.

They do what they do and they dont poke my palm or wrist.

I have the same on my strat as well.

Take it easy!

Hi, love your guitar, Just wondering Im looking at getting one and was interested to hear your thoughts on the different body. Ash V alder? Was either looking at the 2 tone Ash or the 3 tone sunburst Alder

Cheers

@digbywigby

I dont think its about ash vs alder. I think its about what pickups you put in the wood. I have a lite ash korean fender telecaster that has duncans in it and it doesnt sound as good distorted as this one which is alder. But its a nice clean sound.

I like the two tone ash out of the two you are looking at.

Thx for your comment and question.

Later

@cryptonet007 Yea, performance wise they are certainly great. I have a Strat with those type saddles also, that's why I kind of associate them with Strats. I've got an earlier Tele(circa 2000), that has block saddles. I was considering swapping out the bridge for the original ashtray type, but I've found that it's fine as is. Thanks again for showing us your Beautiful telecaster!

i think the tele in classic black with white pickguard is the best looking guitar ever outside possibly jetglo rickenbacker 330 but i must say i prefer the original vintage bridge with brass saddles myself- i have a white tele with black pickgurd and some mods like bakelite knobs but plan on getting black one as well
