The Telecaster Guitar Book - A Complete History Of Fender Telecaster Guitars

This updated edition of Tony Bacon’s Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster explores how the world’s first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar continues to captivate musicians more than 60 years after its creation in California. Today, the Telecaster is more popular than ever—so much so that, for many players, it has surpassed even the Stratocaster as the ultimate Fender guitar. The Tele's unmatched longevity and universal appeal have made it a favorite of artists ranging from Muddy Waters and Keith Richards to Radiohead and Snow Patrol. Its timeless simplicity and versatility are brought to life through insightful interviews with legends like Jeff Beck, James Burton, Bill Kirchen, John 5, and others.

This book delivers three rich volumes in one: a visually stunning showcase of the most coveted Telecasters, a compelling narrative tracing its journey from inception to the present day, and a comprehensive collector’s guide to every Tele ever produced. Brimming with images of iconic players, rare catalogs, vintage ads, and cool memorabilia, The Telecaster Guitar Book is the ultimate Tele companion—an essential addition to any guitar enthusiast’s library.
