This is a forum where guitarists, from novice to experienced, can explore the world of guitar through a variety of media and discussion. Limited colors from previous years down to at least satin nitrocellulose Crimson Transparent, honey blonde, black, daphne blue and 3-color sunburst. The Highway One series is probably about the same level of craftsmanship as the mexican model(frets aren't as finished, etc.

It features an ash body, one-piece maple neck/fingerboard with 22 frets and two Modern Vintage Tele single-coil pickups. The bolt-on neck, string-through bridge and S/S pickup configuration are 3 staples of the Telecaster and though the instrument now has many variations on this including H/H models and Teles with Bigsbys, the twang-factor remains the same. DCR is often used as a gauge of output because as the turns increase, so does the output, though magnet type and the coil geometry also influence output.The middle position turned off the dark circuit, and turned on the tone control knob for the neck pickup. Bongolation is right, they're essentially a Mexican Deluxe guitar with a body painted satin in the US. It comes with instructions too, so if you have access to soldering equipments, it's very easy to fit this pickup by yourself (provided you know how to solder, of course).

The Highway One Texas Telecaster sported a one-piece maple neck/fretboard with a modern 12" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets, bone nut, single ply pickguard, round string guide, brass saddles, "spaghetti" style Fender font, solid ash body, vintage tuners, offered in two satin nitrocellulose colors, honey blonde and 2-color sunburst with a pair of Hot Vintage alnico V pickups. They removed the "dark circuit" from the first position, and installed what has become the standard twin pickup switching system: neck pickup alone with tone control in the first position, both pickups together with the tone control in the middle position and in the third position the bridge pickup alone with the tone control. Telecaster® guitars may seem very basic, but the differences in maple and rosewood fingerboards, body woods and even bridge and saddle materials mean there are a lot of different-sounding axes around, and some of them are very piercing.

All their humbuckers from the past 10 years have been nothing but an attempt to copy what Gibson did in the 50s. I was possibly the first to really get into it with Fender over the initial gross misrepresentation of the H1 line to consumers by retailers when it was first introduced. We add a deep drawn chrome plated brass cover, cloth pushback lead wires, then wax pot like the originals. The guitar quickly gained a following, and soon other, more established guitar companies (such as Gibson, whose Les Paul model was introduced in 1952, and later Gretsch, Rickenbacker, and others) began working on wooden solid-body production models of their own. Fender Mexican Teles are built in their Mexican factory and are the entry point into the Fender lineup.

Initially, the Broadcaster name was simply cut off of the labels placed on the guitars (leading to a limited run of nameless guitars known unofficially as Nocasters) and later in 1951, the final name of Telecaster was applied to the guitar to take advantage of the advent of television. Fender works hard to sell their instruments based on who has played them in the past rather than the quality of the instrument. First produced in 2010, this 22 fret guitar was then reintroduced in 2019 after some changes were made. The Telecaster's body is front- routed for electronics; the bridge pickup is mounted in a metal plate attached to the guitar's bridge, other pickups are mounted in a plastic pickguard, and the controls are mounted in a metal plate on the lower bout of the guitar.A later version was introduced in 1972 based on the Fender Telecaster Deluxe with two Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups.

The humble Telecaster has been around since 1951 when it changed the face of guitar-playing forever. The Creamery has no affiliation with these companies and names are used only for descriptive purposes.The bridge pickup was based on a modified version of the company's Champion lap steel guitar's pickup. The Hot Rails for Tele set will transform your Telecaster into a fire breathing beast with an unapologetic, mean sound that's got the power of a set of full-sized high-output humbuckers.
