Fender Standard Telecaster Satin - Flame Orange

Classic Tele Design, Hotter Tones, Satin Finish

The Fender Standard Telecaster Satin solidbody electric guitar gives you that classic Tele sound and feel you know and love, and adds some very cool improvements for modern players! The Standard Telecaster Satin sports a pair of single-coil pickups voiced a bit hotter than standard, which works very well when you're cranking up for distorted tones. The wiring cavities are now shielded, giving you a big reduction in hum and quieter operation. This Tele features an alder body with satin finish, a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and chrome hardware. Medium-jumbo frets make the Standard Telecaster Satin easier to play than ever.

• Hotter pickups for smokin' tones
• The simple beauty of a classic design
• Why is Tele tone so legendary?

Fender outfitted the Standard Telecaster Satin with two single-coil pickups voiced hotter than what might be considered "standard" output. Why? They know that, although the Tele has been around a long time and has pleased a ton of players just fine, the added punch of hotter pickups would help the Standard Tele drive modern amps even better. This gives you that classic Tele vibe while allowing you to kick your sound into overdrive. The control cavities are now shielded, giving you quieter operation. What's more, the modern C-shaped neck is topped with medium-jumbo frets for even easier playing.

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 Standard Telecaster Satin continues this legacy by respecting the original while making it very suitable for the modern player.

Descended from one of the true "grandaddies" of guitar designs, the Standard Telecaster Satin 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 and from 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 with a select few.

• Classic Telecaster design, playability, and sound in an affordable package
• Alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard
• Satin urethane finish
• Flexible pickups deliver sounds for all styles of music
• Standard 6-string through-body bridge
• Individual volume and tone controls give you a world of tonal combinations to explore
