Basswood Body

The FSR Telecaster is made from lightweight basswood to provide a comfortable and effortless play, while its unique tonal density delivers classic Fender tones. The tonewood's fat, well-balanced sound makes it ideal for a range of playing styles, offering excellent dynamics and definition for a focused punch and a muscular midrange.

Slim C Maple Neck & Fingerboard

The addition of a maple neck helps tighten up the Fender's overall tonality, providing extra cut to help punch through dense mixes. Its comfortably smooth feel and slim ''C'' profile offers an incredibly fast performance, allowing players to deliver beautiful leads and solos with ease. The maple fingerboard enhances the neck’s naturally bright characteristics, adding extra layers of depth for a truly expressive sound. The use of maple for both neck and fingerboard provides the guitar with sizzling highs, firm lows, and a snappy attack in the midrange.

Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele Pickups

Equipped with a set of powerful vintage-style single-coil pickups, the Classic 69 Telecaster delivers vintage tones suitable for a variety of playing styles. The pickups offer plenty of sustain to ensure each note sings, while its bell-like character and articulation makes the guitar perfect for creating epic solos and massive soundscapes. Use the master volume and tone controls to dial in the perfect sound for any situation, and flick between pickups with the 3-way switch.

String Through Construction

The Fender FSR Classic 69 Telecaster incorporates a string-through body construction to improve the overall tonality and sustain, optimising the transfer of vibrations and resonance from the strings to the body. The vintage-style bridge features 3 chrome barrel saddles to keep the strings stable, allowing the guitar to be played harder without going out of tune.

Resonant Synthetic Bone Nut

Featuring a carefully fitted synthetic bone nut, the FSR Classic Tele delivers an increased resonance and bright tonality. When compared to traditional plastic and Tusq guitar nuts, synthetic bone improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.

Fender Japan Guitars

Fender Japan was established as a way for Fender to market their guitars to the Japanese market, allowing for the creation of low cost Fender guitars that still possess the high expectations and build quality of their American counterparts. Japan is often considered to be one of the leading places in the world for guitar manufacturing, and although most of the guitars produced are not sold in the UK, the FSR series allows players to purchase an exceptionally high quality and unique guitar.

The History of the Telecaster

The rich history of Fender guitars begins with the Telecaster. An indispensable instrument, the Telecaster was the world's first successful solid-body electric guitar. Perfected after two years of development - and a name change or two - the Telecaster debuted in February 1951 and began its steady ascent towards the stage and studio. Ingeniously engineered with the ability to be heard both loud and clear, it was a marvel of simple design elegance and workhorse functionality. It is perhaps a fitting testimony to its essential original rightness that the Telecaster design has hardly changed ever since.
