Product Information

A glorious portrait of an iconic musical instrument and its makers and players. Launched by the fledgling Fender company in 1950, the Telecaster has become the longest-lived solidbody electric guitar, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Chrissie Hynde. All who play know that the key to the Telecaster's importance and versatility is its sheer simplicity. Packed with high-quality photographs of great Telecasters, collectable catalogs, period press ads, and memorabilia, this tribute tells the story of the Telecaster and the Fender Company through exclusive interviews with Fender figures who were there when this musical star was born.

Not detailed enough
Good book for a tele lover. Would have been better if every colour combo was shown in order for each year in order. Not enough details on hardwear changes I.e. changes in tuners, saddles bridges pickup etc Including changes in headstock details . Detail was what I was looking for.

A comprehensive recource for music lovers in particular; guitarists
As a musician with Fender guitars I found this book a very comprehensive resource covering each of the six decades of the Fender Telecaster along with great photographs and adequate information. A good read, not only for Fender buffs like me, but all appreciators of music and fine instruments. More variants of this history making guitar than I was aware of. I'll have to get more if I want the full set.
