Fender American Vintage '69 Telecaster Thinline | fender telecaster thinline
Written by admin on October 8, 2011 – 2:09 pm -By Dave Burrluck As good as the original - or even better? The original Thinline was produced from '68 until '71. Fender's American Vintage series is the closest you can get to a vintage Fender guitar without buying the real thing from yesteryear or moving into the more elite Custom Shop. This new addition – along with the American Vintage '72 Thinline and Custom Teles - is already available in lower-cost Fender ranges, but not at this quality or with this much vintage detail. The '69 Telecaster Thinline, aims to replicate the original Thinline, which appeared in 1968 and lasted until 1971. Classed by Fender at the time as a 'semi-acoustic' it was offered initially with just mahogany or ash bodies with a natural finish. Semi-hollow construction... more

Fender 60th Anniversary Telecaster Electric Guitar Review | fender telecaster
Written by admin on July 4, 2011 – 11:07 pm -Jordan Wagner Fender’s tribute to one of their most renowned instruments is a fantastic blend of old school, don’t-fix-what-isn’t-broken mentality and current, more reliable technology. Few guitars are as historically important as the Fender Telecaster. In fact, you could argue that the stalwart instrument is the most influential guitar of all time. Since its official release in 1949 as the Broadcaster, the Telecaster has been prized and praised for its no-nonsense tones, and simple and elegant design. It’s been used in pretty much every form of music that ever called for a guitar part and spawned countless variations tailored towards players of all walks and musical styles. And while countless electric guitar innovations have come... more

The “other” top electric guitars
Written by admin on April 4, 2011 – 10:22 pm -While the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster have become synonymous with rock and roll, it is often easy to overlook the mulittude of other guitars out there. Here are 5 alternative axes for those wanting to step out of the usual rock-by-numbers approach and broaden their sound. ESP Explorer Forget all about your Les Pauls and your SGs, if you’re a serious metal player this is your guitar of choice. Just ask Metallica frontman James Hetfield who has been thrashing the shit out of one since the mid-eighties. Inspired by the Gibson Explorer, the ESP edition comes with the added punch of doom spewing EMG pick-ups that may as well be made from congealed devil blood.

Fender Road Worn Player Series Telecaster Electric Guitar Review | fender road worn player telecaster
Written by admin on March 28, 2011 – 7:21 pm -by Adam Perlmutter, Premier Guitar The Player Series Tele marries vintage look and affordability with modern features When Fender introduced its Custom Shop Relic models in the mid-90s, few could have guessed how big the market for relics would become. Guitarists by the score craved vintage authenticity and new-guitar reliability in the same instrument. Replete with strategically placed arm-wear; nicks, dings, and checking; corroded hardware; and other signs of extensive use, Fender’s relics could be dead ringers for their vintage inspirations. But most importantly, these guitars cost a fraction of the price of their predecessors and unlike vintage instruments, were replaceable—handy for touring guitarists who didn’t want to take their... more

Fender Classic Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe Review
Written by admin on March 7, 2010 – 9:07 pm -By Dave Durban, Guitarist Magazine These Wide range humbuckers are an entirely new, updated design The Thinline Deluxe combines two of the guitar world's most classic designs – the Telecaster and Gibson's ES-335. In the construction stakes Fender has excelled with all the Classic Player series guitars, but the Thinline is even better. The overall fit and finish is genuinely superb, especially considering its price. Moreover, a silky black finish is entirely blemish-free, even around the tricky f-hole. Just like the original, we have a more traditional slab Tele body – unlike the solid Deluxe there's no belly contour. However, thanks to its semi-solid design, it's light and comfortable; even lighter than many originals we've encountered. "Blues... more
