9/10

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Tone:

A fantastic guitar. An great echo-type tone. A very versatile guitar, for all sorts of players except the heavier metal type players as it can sound a little weak on overdrive. If you play metal, I probably wouldn't suggest this guitar. The telecaster has a real unique ring to it; a sort of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones style of sound.

Fender Standard Telecaster Quality Rating:

10/10

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster Quality:

Fantastic finish. Even the finish on some of the Squier Teles are very good but for a guitar of this value, the finish is second to none. Haven't had it long at all but have had no problems with it.

9/10

Fender Standard Telecaster Pros:

Fantastic versatility. Suits nearly any style of play. Great look and feel to it, very durable. The unique telecaster sound is what it's all about!

Fender Standard Telecaster Cons:

Can be a little weak under intense volume and heavy overdrive but if you don't play much metal music, this guitar is for you!
