      Fender 60th Anniversary Telecaster Electric Guitar (106510654)
Availability:  


Celebrating the axe that turned the guitar world on its axis.

This is where it all began: in 1951, Leo Fender released the Telecaster, the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar. Renamed from "Broadcaster" that was introduced in 1950, it's has a simple, yet enormously useful design—borne out of Leo's experience with electrifying Hawaiian steel guitars—that has been embraced over the years by guitarists from a wide range musical genres, and copied by guitar builders all over the globe.

Just like the original, this 60th Anniversary Telecaster has the features that set the template for solidbody electric guitar design: an ash body provides the basis for the storied twangy sound, a revolutionary one-piece bolt-on maple neck—until the Tele, bolt-on necks had only been used on banjos, the classic string-thru-body bridge, and dual single-coil pickups with the treble pickup mounted on the bridge plate—a coupling that helps characterize the Tele sound. From crisp signature sparkle at the bridge to warmth and fullness at the neck, the 60th Anniversary Telecaster gets its rich depth, definition and dynamics from dual American
Vintage Telecaster single-coil pickups.

Controls
Volume, tone and pickup switching—that's it. Now as then, the controls are elegant in their simplicity and solidly reliable in their effect on the sound. Two knurled "chromedome" knobs are mounted on an original-style chrome control plate. The one knob on the Tele features the Delta Tone™ system, in which a detent at the "10" position eliminates all the tone control circuitry and delivers the pure, direct sound of both pickups.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Where have I been all your life???

    As reviewed by GREGORY NELSON on 3/5/2012

    I can't believe it..... I've been playing for 34 years, am a full-time musician and have had all the best guitars on my wall.....EXCEPT....this one until now. I've been missing out for all these years! I fell for a stereotype of this guitar that is obviously false. This guitar is multi-dimensional. The TONE. Oh, the strat will now sit idle. The neck pu on this Tele is superior in warmth and character. Not as biting as I've always assumed. My bad. The `57 gibson LP gold top will never be sold, but won't be played nearly as much, given the bridge pu can deliver a tasty gritty spunky overdrive sound that isn't so round and common. I roll the tone knob back a bit and you'd never guess I was playing a tele. The Gretsch? Already sold it. A duessenburg, too. This telecaster is now my every day guitar. It's simple elegance has me infatuated with it. My band mates have all commented on the awesome sound of this guitar. No genre of music is outside it's reach. If you'll not be afraid to experiment with the volume and tone.... so much control from so few controls. Brilliant.

  • A true fender classic

    As reviewed by keith l on 8/25/2011

    I first saw and played the blonde 60th anniversary telecaster in New York , even my wife thought it looked and sounded great , and she did not want me getting a fifth guitar . I have 2 Gibson Les Pauls , and love them , I had a fender mustang and did not care for the sound . Well , I went to Guitar Center and ordered the blonde with black pick guard , took it home and plugged it into my fender deluxe 900 amp , and WOW . The crispest clearest pickups , I play it every day now for 3 weeks , though I still love and play my gibson goldtop classic , my tele is now my favorite guitar , and I've been playing for 38 years now. this guitar sounds as beautiful as it looks , solid case ,nice fender strap and other extras , I know any serious guitar player would be very pleased with this classic look and sound . I am elated with my guitar , I see why Roy Buchanan and other greats loved their telecaster!!!

  • Super Ultra Fantastic!

    As reviewed by Ron Smith on 3/9/2011

    Mine arrived today at 2PM. It is now 9PM and I have been in a complete bliss playing it! It really is a time zone (Twilight Zone?) guitar. It arrived already set up perfectly. I'm not going to have to take it to my tech to have it set up, which is good because I really don't want to part with it. If it weren't for having to take a break to get something to eat I wouldn't even be writing this review! The finish is smooth and perfect. Especially on the neck. It feels almost like playing on bare wood, but there is finish on it. I can't begin to describe how it sounds. The range goes from buttery smooth to dirty twang. I can already tell that I will very rarely take it out of the "Delta Tone" mode. In that mode the pickups are so expressive that by simply altering my playing/picking technique it is like having an extra tone control. An out of this world tone control at that! I am completely in love with this guitar. The only thing that could possibly make this guitar better would be if John 5 signed it for me. Hmmmm, maybe I'll become a stalker until he does! -Ron
