The bridge pickup was based on a modified version of the company's Champion lap steel guitar's pickup.

The Telecaster's body is front- routed for electronics; the bridge pickup is mounted in a metal plate attached to the guitar's bridge, other pickups are mounted in a plastic pickguard, and the controls are mounted in a metal plate on the lower bout of the guitar.All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. But, if you would like to state that case, why don't we talk about how the guitar is an entertainment industry rather than a craft. If you don't know where to start, we recommend getting the set - it captures the full voicing of what we tried to create, as well as ensures it won't be out of phase with other pickups in your guitar. For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards. As long as people believe that Fender is the only company that can make a "real" guitar, the Highway 1 will sell like hot cakes.

There is a three-way pickup selector switch and a volume and control knob as found on most telecasters. The American Nashville B-Bender guitar is modeled after the personally customized instruments of some of Nashville's top players, featuring a Fender/Parsons/Green B-Bender system, two American Tele single-coils (neck, bridge), a Texas Special Strat single-coil (middle) and five-way "Strat-O-Tele" pickup switching. The middle position turned off the dark circuit, and turned on the tone control knob for the neck pickup.S-1 switching on an American Elite Telecaster, for example, differs sharply from S-1 switching on a Classic Player Baja Telecaster. While they all get rotated, I usually use a Tele as the primary as they stay in tune well and you can go to open tunings easily. To distinguish this model from the mid-1960s Custom with body binding, the market generally refers to the guitar as the "1972 Custom", indicating the year this model was released. The neck is not the same, nor is it that similar, as it initially lacked the biflex rod (and may still - it doesn't say in the specs).

The humble Telecaster has been around since 1951 when it changed the face of guitar-playing forever.

You say no to a PRS Tele because you want to company to stay original but there is nothing original about them.

Even though the Telecaster is almost three quarters of a century old, and more sophisticated designs have appeared since the early 1950s (including Fender's own Stratocaster), the Telecaster remains in production. In 2011, Fender released the Modern Player series, which featured the Modern Player Telecaster Thinline and the Modern Player Telecaster Plus. The Acoustasonic is equipped with a Fender Acoustasonic Noiseless-TM pickup and uses Fender's Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS) system to allow the guitar to still maintain a loud sound when it is unplugged, as an acoustic guitar would generally sound. This body style was later released as the Fender Telecaster Bass in 1968 after the Precision Bass had been changed in 1957 to make it more closely resemble the Fender Stratocaster guitar.Its solid construction let guitarists play loudly as a lead instrument, with long sustain if desired. In keeping with other models Fender distinguishes product lines manufactured in different locations. To complement the distinct twang and punch of the Vintage 54 Lead, the Telecaster Vintage Rhythm pickup was designed for a smooth open tone with warm lower mids and airy highs. Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.
