Hardshell Case with Tweed-wrapped Plywood Exterior and Plush Interior - Tweed

Rock some serious style while getting your Tele to and from the stage with the Telecaster Thermometer Case from Fender. The Thermometer is made from a tweed-wrapped birch plywood that provides outstanding protection against the dings and dents of getting to and from the stage. An uber-stylish, soft-crushed gold polyester plush lining is an added feature that keeps your Tele’s delicate controls and surface protected as well. An interior accessory compartment with lid is ideal for tuners and strings. And Tele owners here at Sweetwater love the added classic touch of the brown vinyl-wrapped, steel-core carry handle that makes the longer walks to the stage a lot more comfortable.

Telecaster Thermometer Case

By L. J. from Crown Point, IN

I really like the way this case cradles my Telecaster. It fits perfectly with no movement.
If you want a case that will hold cables, straps, and other gear, this may not be for you since the center storage space is small.
I wanted something that wouldn't take up as much space as the oblong luggage case and this case fits the bill for me.
Shout out to Alan Reyes. If you need help with an order, give him a call.

Great looking case

By Christopher K. from Trenton, MI

Love this guitar case

Nice looking, small form case

By RC from LOS ANGELES, CA

Case looks larger in photos than in reality. Yet it fits my player II series tele perfectly. Case is lightweight and slim, which is just what I was looking for. Definitely not as sturdy or likely as protective as the rectangular wood cases, but great for in-home storage and fits way better on an upright case rack.

Definitely recommend getting it from Sweetwater, as it shipped super quick with zero damage.

Great case, overall aside from lock

By Ken D. from BLUFFTON, SC
Music Background: Amateur hobby musician with a few gigs a year.

I ordered this case along with my squier classic vibe tele (love that guitar). Case fit great, I love the vintage tweed cover and the inside reminds me of grandma's couch back in the day! The lock broke the first day (with the guitar inside lol) but you can just unscrew it from the outside so honestly not much a lock anyway since I had to break into it myself. But if the lock is not an issue for you, great hard case for the money!

Cheap and flimsy

By David d. from Ridgewood, NJ

Stylish, but very, very cheaply constructed. Basically cardboard covered with tweed. Add some really flimsy latches and you've got a $ case. Not recommended.

Thermo Case

By David K. from Washington, GA

Case is very well constructed...Tele fits perfectly!

Fits perfect!

By Cliff H. from Westerville, OH

Kotzen Telecaster fits like a glove! Small profile and light weight. Bob Mondok and Sweetwater never fail to amaze me. This is what every company should strive to be like.

Best Telecaster Case ever made

By Ronald F. from ARNOLD, MO
Music Background: 50 years professional

I was shocked when I opened the box, first thoughts were my Tele will never fit in this case. I couldn't have been more wrong. It fits in the case like a gloves on your hand. I have 2 more Telecasters and I'm buying this case for both of them. Take my advice, give Kyle a call 1-800-222-4700 ext 1247 and get one of these for your Telecaster if you care about your guitar. Price is very reasonable for a case of this quality.

Lightweight

By Bruce M. from ORWELL, OH

Plenty of plush to comfort your guitar, but not real heavy duty case in the event of disaster

Telecaster case

By Harry G. from Lake of the Ozarks, MO
Music Background: Road musician for 30 plus years.

Great looking case with old school vibes. Fits my PRS Miles Kennedy guitar perfectly. Good case for light traveling. Wouldn't hold up as airplane baggage, but perfect for my needs.

Retro vibe!!!

By Joe from NJ

First let me say what this case is not. It's not an Anvil flight case to use for a a touring pro. It's is perfect for a player like me, weekend and recreational player who a wants a secure , cool looking case that won't break your back to carry. Fits my Tele like a glove. Snap one up now!!!

Fantastic Telecaster Case

By Spencer from Brooklyn, NY
Music Background: Hobby Guitarist

If you like that vintage tweed vibe, this case has it. Super lightweight and small, this case is great for everyday running around. I wouldn't put it on a plane though, get a flight case for that. Make sure to measure your tele first and compare with the specs. For comparison, I use it if for my Warmoth body / neck tele(non-vintage) build. If fits perfectly in this case.

Fender guitar case

By Sweetwater Customer

Absolutely love it. Case small but perfect fit. Guitar fits like a glove. Light weight. Great!!

Be careful

By Daryl from WA

Get your measuring tape out. I bought this for my 1990 reissue 52 Telecaster Japan. BUT my 1996 Mexican telly will not fit at all. So I tried my G-bender G&L Telecaster, and it had an inch plus over length on the neck. I believe this case is true to the vintage era, (blackguard) but Fender does not communicate that to you very well.

Tele case

By Rick G. from Wilmington, De

The case is to small to fit a telecaster without forcing it in.

March 2, 2023

Mysterious case

By Sweetwater Customer

I am perplexed at all of the reviews for this case. A telecaster won't even fit in the case! The case is not wide enough at the bottom and the case is too short for the guitar to fit into it. Possibly the quality control at the Fender guitar case factory is poor.

Nashville Tele does NOT fit

By THOMAS K. from Winter Garden, FL

Very poor quality case, Nashville Telecaster will not fit, contrary to others' posts. The shipping container box is better than the actual case. Very much like cardboard with upholstery. This would be good for a $49 guitar.

Really cool Telecaster case

By Marc from linthicum, MD
Music Background: i have a telecaster

I really like this thing. it looks great Its compact and light, and it reminds me of the guitar cases of the 50's and early 60's

July 26, 2022

Very nice

By Marc from Baltimore
Music Background: i carry guitars around

i think these are great. Its light, and it looks great and they aren't too big. Cases in the 50's and 60's were usually "right sized" ..The molded metal or plastic luggage "flight case" things became popular the 70's..I always thought they were too heavy and ugly. My guitars ride with me anyway so i'm not worried about losing it at the airport

Nice but expensive

By Chicago J.

Latches, looks and craftsmanship is great. My Tele looks great in it and protected, but it's expensive.

March 13, 2022

Love this case

By KenRu from COMMACK, NY

Finally Fender makes a solid case that isn't huge for your Tele. I'm impressed, it's solid, light weight and well made and fits a Tele perfectly. Hey Fender can you make one of these now for the Strat. (your Strat won't fit in it)

classic early Telecaster case

By Cliff A. from Sacramento, CA
Music Background: player since 1963

Fits a Telecaster like a glove. A couple string sets will sit under the headstock, but there's little room for a padded strap. Small outside, tight inside, retro classic.

Thermometer Tel case

By Randy M. from Port Huron, Mi
Music Background: Worship teams and several bands/Bach to rock.

Case fits my telecaster well. More protection than a bag. Different telecaster's such as the thin lines my not balance the case out and the case will be neck heavy. Just a F.Y.I. there. It's a cheaply made in china case but it's nice looking and should do the trick. A bit pricey but your paying for the coolness.

vintage style telecaster case

By jimmy w. from Lincoln Park, MI
Music Background: 50 years playing country and rock,

very light and thin, allmost feels cheep but hopefully it will be a strong case, great vintage look and extremely tight fit on my 1972 fender tele, only time will tell, but i love the look

It won't fit all telecasters

By Joseph G. from troy, IL

So, I have 5 telecasters but I bought this one for a custom white blonde, and it wouldn't fit in the case at all. My 1993 52 avri barely fit into this case either. Overall the case looks nice but it's a really tight fit don't buy if you are putting all your hopes the guitar will fit it's definitely a toss up.

Get One!!!

By Ronnie's B. from New Mexico
Music Background: Playing guitar for 50+ years

First off, my original order went astray and FedEx re-directed it back to Sweetwater. David Yanes jumped into action and had a new case immediately shipped so I didn't have to wait for the original order to be returned. Great customer service as always from Sweetwater!

This case is top notch! It appears small in size and when I first opened the box I was thinking, how is my Tele going to fit in there? But to my surprise, it fits like a glove! It's plush on the inside and built like a tank. Fender designed this thermometer case to protect your guitar! The tweed covering is icing on the cake.

If you don't have a Tele..... get one. Then buy this case!

Nice Case!

By Keith from Ohio
Music Background: I a musician and that says it all. See you at the gig.

It a perfect fit fir my Fender Telecaster. Looks great too.
For sure this will be my go to case for gigs when I play my Telecaster. While carrying the guitar in the case the top end where the neck fits is slanted down as if the guitar was neck heavy. It's not a big deal to meat all just thought I'd mention it. The small size, fit and looks makes it a 5 star in my book!

cute case.......mex/china

By Sweetwater Customer

I love this case

just buy it for the cool Fender looks
but seriously its a nice effort for " made in china"
but.......not exactly G&G specs

Vintage Fender look, sturdy yet lightweight and compact

By Guitarguy from seattle
Music Background: working musician

If you are looking for a lightweight, sturdy case from Fender that's not bulky and has the Fender old school 'vibe', this is the one for you. With the cloth
covering it will get marked up over time, but that's part of it's classic design and ultimate 'patina'. There is not a lot of storage room inside, but I like it over the rectangular larger Fender tweed cases.

Nice, lightweight case

By George S.
Music Background: 55 years, studio, road, and taverns across the globe.

Fits tele perfectly, well constructed. I was a little concerned about the latches initially but they are sturdy. Loving that the case doesn't add pounds of weight overall.

Very nice case.

The case classes up my telecaster. Nice looking, appears to be durable. This was a good purchase.

A good case for a Telecaster

By Greg from NYC
Music Background: I’ve been playing the guitar for 45 years. Jazz, rock, blues, finger style, slide, etc.

I have a Thinline Tele that's been in need of a case for 25 years. It had been stored in a gig bag since I bought it in the mid-1990s. I liked the style of this case, the shape, etc. It fits my Thinline snuggly, which is good. The guitar seems secure and protected. It has lots of interior padding, so that's good. The handle seems sturdy, and looks/feels like leather. The case will be more than sufficient to store the guitar at home and transport it to a friend's place to jam. No gigging or touring for me, though the case seems like it would provide average protection for the guitar if I was hitting the road with it.

The interior seems more brown than gold, but my Tele is brown, so that's a nice match. The interior storage area is small; too small for even a strap or cable, so in that regard it seems sort of silly. It will hold maybe an extra set of string or a clothe to wipe down your guitar. The latches seem a bit flimsy. They're small and seem delicate; frankly I'd be afraid they'd break if the guitar was being put in van every night on a club tour.
