Born in 1951, the P Bass revolutionized music, making the gig far easier on the bassist than lugging an acoustic upright. In 1959 Fender achieved what many bassists would call "P Bass perfection." We asked our friends at the Fender Custom Shop to craft us our ultimate version of the 1959 Precision Bass, built to our exact specifications. The 1959 Precision Bass Special Relic starts off with a spot-on replication of the '59 P Bass body, the classic split-coil pickup, and maple neck.

The 60th anniversary of the Fender Telecaster guitar has been celebrated by a unique and unprecedented release of some of their most collectable and historical instruments. This particular guitar is a reproduction of one of the most collectable guitars ever. After the Gretsch company asked Fender to drop the "Broadcaster" name, Fender simply cut the decals so that they read "Fender" only. These "Nocaster" guitars were made until the Telecaster name was introduced in 1951. It is believed that only about 475 Nocasters were ever produced.The LTD Limited Nocaster 2 Pickup model features a premium ash body with the Custom Shop Relic finish treatment, 1-piece maple neck, 25.5" scale length, and a 21-fret maple fretboard.

Country Guitar Lessons On The Legendary Fender Telecaster

!±8± Country Guitar Lessons On The Legendary Fender Telecaster

Country guitar lessons will be incomplete without learning about the legendary fender telecaster. Initially introduced to the global guitar market as broadcaster, it is the world's oldest steel-bodied electric guitar that has shaped the music across different genres, especially country music.

Advent of Fender Telecaster

As the name indicates, Leo Fender of Fullerton, California developed the fender telecaster in the year 1949. The following year, it entered the commercial market on a massive scale and has since created a significant impact on the guitar playing market. The fender is often referred to as the Tele.

The Solid Build of the Tele

The traditional design of the telecaster boasts of a solid body construction with one tone knob, a volume knob, two-coil pickups with three way switching, an oblong, rounded control plate, a fixed bridge, and a pick guard covering top half of the body. There are several variations to this design involving single coil with a humbucker, and dual or triple humbuckers. The body of the telecaster is a single cutaway with square edges with the electronics of the telecaster well hidden by the pickguard and the control plate.

Tele Tonal Variations

The two pickups are positioned one at the bridge and the other at the neck of the guitar. The three way switching system enables you to play with either the neck or the bridge pickup separately or with a combination of both by placing the selector at the middle position. Playing at the neck position produces a smooth and warm tone. A high-pitched sharper tone with a treble effect created at the bridge position bodes well for country music.

Country guitar lessons on how to play the famous fender telecaster is available online through videos and instructions on how to learn different country riffs, licks, and scales for a beginner to easily pick up several basics required to play solos on the Tele. Lessons on how to read the notations, lines, and tabs, picking the rhythm, recognizing and playing the chords help to master the Tele effectively.

Touted as a common person's guitar, it is a popular choice among the who's who of country music like Bruce Springsteen, Keith Urban, Bob Dylan, Buck Owens, and Jerry Reed to name a few. The fact that several of the country singers perform with a fender telecaster instead of the traditional acoustic country guitar is a pleasant surprise.
