The Nashville Tele's 2 and 4 positions don't quite match the Strat's quality; if one already owns a Strat, the extra pickup may feel redundant.

Very versatile
This is a great overall guitar. It does Telecaster stuff perfectly. You can get great classic country tones and buttery smooth clean tones. It also does heavy tones pretty well too. The neck feels so smooth, and its playability is insane. It's probably the only guitar I'll ever need.

Solid Country Guitar
I am an ambient rock musician who has an affinity for Telecasters. This one I should have known would be more Country geared but I still enjoyed it when I had it.

Great guitar. Great sound and looks! Solid as a rock. This is a keeper!
The guitar in the photo looks most like my Fender Telecaster Custom. I am very satisfied with my Telecaster. Plays and sounds great. Really the sound you can expect from this guitar. The neck feels good. Due to the natural color, this guitar has fewer problems with damage. I bought the guitar 2nd hand, it was already 16 years old and still looked like new. Still by the way, while I play her regularly. This is a keeper. Highly recommended. Solid as a rock.
Great Guitar
I just got this guitar in a worn condition - I actually don't know if it's just worn or if someone aged it (and I don't care too much about it since it looks really great!) - with a white Pickguard. The whole thing looks stunning and has a classic beauty to it. Furthermore the guitar is uber-flexible since you can almost use ist like a strat with the third pickup and the five-way selector. It sounds beautiful but works really well with oberdrives, too! It plays fantastic, you just won't stop playing. And at least I have to say that this thing is an absolute work-horse. I guess that I even could smash a car or something with this guitar without having it untuned afterwards - the tuning stability is stunning! I use this Guitar to play in a Stoner Rock Band and it does unbelieveably well. I really bought it to have something to funk arround with in a side project - but since the guitar just fits to my playing across all genres and styles I just stopped using different guitars and stick to this one! So: If you want a bit more than the typical tele-flavour: Get this one!
Nashville Spank with Stratocaster feel
Its a great guitar for the money, has that spanky Telecaster sound but with the added middle pickup can be close to what you would hear from a stratocaster, the addition of locking tuners, the modern bridge and cutaway make this a great guitar for modern playability. only downside I would say was mine had some slight fret buzz/ sharp edges along the frets.

Best Tele I've ever played
It has all the pros of a Tele without all the cons, thanks to the Strat middle pickup. It's comfortable and the frets are a bit closer together. Plus, it stays in tune better than any other guitar I've played. It's very versatile and offers a wide range of sound.

the first guitar i bought with my own money in 2003. i considered getting an epiphone SG because of robby krieger, but luckily i went the jonny greenwood-route. replaced the ugly white pu-cover with a black one and put some amp knobs on. one of the best necks i ever played.

A pleasing color thanks to its single coil pickups, a very pleasing aesthetic.

It does just about everything from country twang to classic rock and everywhere in between. from the moment I picked it up it's been my number one in everything I do.

Versatile, tone-rich, and comfortable to play
I've always loved Telecasters. This one has three pickups and a 5-way switch, offering a wide variety of tonal options. Whether playing clean or over-driven, it works for rhythm as well as leads. While it could be ideal for country, I play it for rock, pop, atmospheric, blues, and jazz. It's my go-to for its versatility, tone, and comfort/play-ability.

Vintage King
You guys have a pretty distinct guitar tone that comes across when playing live and on the records. How have you captured that in the studio? What's your process of recording guitars like?
KS: It varies, but basically we double every lead guitar part to give it that beefier almost chorus-y tone. I tracked all of our new record with my Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster. It's got three single coils, so it's sort of a cross between a Tele and a Strat.
For rhythm guitar, we usually try to get a more shimmery clean tone and bury it in the mix a bit. We actually experiment more with rhythm guitar than we do with lead. We’ll add a delay that matches the BPM of the song to make it more atmospheric or add chorus. The balance between the two guitars is a big aspect of our music.
HS: We'll mess around with tones on guitar (mostly for the cleaner stuff) probably too long on some songs, but if we don't then there's a good chance we end up tracking it all again, so I don't know... We used an Empress paraEQ pedal a lot on the new record which I really like, boosting certain parts as we tracked. Pretty sure all the guitars are with a 57 on the 50-watt JCM, at least on the new record.
