Classic Tele tone

When it comes to classic guitar tone, few possess the gigantic status of the Fender Telecaster. Defining multiple eras of rock, blues, punk, and even indie music, the Telecaster's iconic sound remains a favourite amongst guitarists even today. And it's clear to see why…

There's no boundaries to its potential. Which is why Fender have equipped the Rarities Tele with a pair of vintage single-coils, taking you back to the dawn of the Telecaster. In the bridge position – a vintage style Tele single-coil. It does what it says in the tin. Heritage 1950s Tele twang, with the warmth and edge that created its legendary status. It doesn't get better than the original.

In the neck position, there's a twist. A custom shop 'twisted' single coil delivers high-output Tele tone, with a hint a Strat character. Enhanced dynamics and a prominent midrange – the Rarities Telecaster ripples with Fender quality with each note you play. So, you can count on your sound to astonish the audience in every performance, no matter your style. Discover the potential of Fender's most recognised model.

Born to perform

Every inch of the Rarities Telecaster is crafted for performance. And it’s shows. A lightweight ash body lets you roam the stage with ultimate freedom. This ergonomic body-design is sculpted into the traditional, single-cutaway Tele shape, presenting you with effortless access to the upper frets for those scorching solos.

But it doesn’t end there. The maple neck is shaped into a modern “Deep C”, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand. This way, you can play every riff, chord, and solo with total control and precision. Gloss finished on the front – the surface of the fretboard is distinctively sleek. What this means, is that your fingers will soar across the ultra-smooth fingerboard whilst movement of your hand will remain fluid across the back of the neck, ideal for fast playing. Put simply, the Rarities Telecaster won’t hold you back. Because, ultimately, Fender know what it takes to deliver a truly refined playing experience.

Maximum instrument security

An instrument of such individuality needs protecting. Which is why the Fender Rarities Telecaster comes with a deluxe brown hardshell case. Take your cherished instrument on the road, with the peace of mind that it’ll be in pristine condition every time you play. Preventing scratching, scraping, or any other damage to your guitar - the brown hardshell case makes transporting between venues simple and stress-free. No worries. No panic. Just the excitement of performance, the way it should be.
