Fender American Standard left handed Maple Neck Blizzard Pearl

The Fender American Standard Telecaster is still the hardest working guitar in the world. Simple, reliable, toneful and beautiful - a true classic that twangs like an electric guitar should.

The look, sound and vibe of the Telecaster resonate throughout the history of popular music. From orchestra pits to mosh pits, small clubs to stadiums and garages to recording studios, its signature sound is everywhere. The American Standard Telecaster has hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups, staggered tuning machines, improved bridge with bent steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain, tinted neck, high-gloss maple fingerboard, satin-finished neck back, thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, and Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
