In the construction stakes Fender has excelled with all the Classic Player series guitars, but the Thinline is even better.

Fender Classic Telecaster Deluxe Review
Written by admin on February 21, 2010 – 8:04 pm -by Dave Durban, Guitarist Magazine Why has Fender chosen to revisit the Telecaster Deluxe?

Written by admin on August 22, 2009 – 1:41 am -The Fender Telecaster's simple yet effective design and revolutionary sound broke ground and set trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Introduced for national distribution as the Broadcaster in the autumn of 1950, it was the first guitar of its kind to be produced on a substantial scale. Its commercial production can be traced as far back as the spring of 1950, when the single- and dual-pickup Esquire models were first sold.
