An American Icon for Lefties!
The FENDER® American Standard Telecaster® Left Hand Model continues the legacy of a design that's inspired players for decades. In addition to its classic duo of single-coil pickups, 3-way switching, alder body, this American Standard Telecaster Left Hand Model features a new bridge, new finish on the neck and body, and a premium molded SKB case. You still get the comfortable rolled fretboard edges, and staggered tuning machines, as well as that legendary Tele® tone. Fender manages to maintain a winning design that's been popular for over half a century while adding a few improvements with the American Standard Telecaster Left Hand Model!

Fender American Standard Telecaster Left Hand Model at a Glance:
  • American Standard updates
  • Classic design
  • Tele tone

American Standard updates
The American Standard Telecaster is an elegantly straightforward instrument, and it's rare that a guitar that's been popular for so long can be improved upon. But that's exactly what Fender did, with a new bridge featuring six new American Standard bent steel saddles and a stamped brass plate. It's the same, only better! The new neck is super-comfortable, with a polyurethane finish and hand-rolled fretboard edges. And the premium SKB-made molded case lets you transport your Tele safely, with TSA locks, Glass-reinforced nylon trigger latches, and a form-fitted plush interior.

Classic design
You've probably heard the story before: Leo Fender began designing and building his soon-to-be-iconic guitars over a half-century ago, even though he didn't play guitar himself. The Telecaster represents Fender's first real success, and the fact that it remains such a sought-after guitar today speaks volumes about its quality and playability. It's been copied countless times, tweaked, mutated, modified, gutted, and bedecked with extras, but the original always shines through. The American Standard Telecaster continues this legacy by respecting the original while updating it enough to make it better than ever.

Tele tone
Descended from one of the true "grandaddies" of guitar designs, the American Standard Telecaster retains all the characteristics that make the Tele so popular across all musical genres. Its tone can range from articulate "chicken pickin'" cluck to warm sustain, crunchy power chords to crystal-clear chime. Only a handful of instruments stand out decade after decade, and the Tele's magical blend of playability, utility, and tone definitely puts it in among a select few.

Customer Reviews
 Fender American Telecaster Left Handed  
by Dean Athans from New York City, NY USA, October 19, 2006
Music Background:  Currently not gigging musician


“I play standards, jazz, and a little R&B, solo and in a trio. Own a couple of archtops that have the tone I like, but not at higher volumes. This Tele, with the right setup and amplification (Acoustic Image Clarus IIR/Raezers Edge NY8 cabinet), allows me to get a warm and clear sound that is 95% of the way to my favorite archtop's ideal sound.

The neck is great, and it can take...” Read More
