 This product is no longer available.
Professional guitarists in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster guitar since its early 1950s introduction for its powerful tone and smooth playability. The Standard Telecaster combines the best of old and new, with hotter single-coil pickups, shielded body cavities, medium jumbo frets, six-saddle strings-through-body bridge, cast/sealed tuners, tinted neck, parchment pickguard and control knobs, and 70s-style headstock logo.

I purchased one of the last new stock ones. It has a production blemish below the bridge, and a small ding by the jack input but overall is a terrific guitar. Watch the fret bloom. Our dry winter climate reeks havoc on guitars. The techs can grind them for you under warranty during your free setup but try and re-hydrate first at around 50% for a couple weeks. All and all a great guitar. Love that tele sound.

At first I wasn't sure about the Mexican Telecasters. I thought I might be disappointed. I was not. Great Tele sound and great action. Build quality is A+

I have other Teles, but this one is my fav. Neck is not too glossy, unlike the one I got (and sold) back in '99. Weight does not bother me. Stays in tune very well. Neck is thick/strong enough to put on heavier gauge strings without worries. I prefer block saddles over vintage ones. Pickups are on their way out (will still be of use on another Tele). Will get another, Sunburst or Butterscotch ;)

Great sound, amazing look and materials/finish. Only issue is some fret buzz but not too bad. If you're a beginner/novice debating between this and a LP Studio, having owned both go for this one (or a Strat too I'd imagine). A lot easier to get satisfying sounds and more fun to practice, at least IMO. Also less minor cosmetic defects than the LP.

This beauty reminds me of a line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off; 'if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up'. He was talking about a Ferrari, and that's what this MIM Tele feels like.. Looks gorgeous, plays like a dream, and sounds like... well, a Fender. This immediately became my every day player. Made in Mexico is looking better all the time!

While most of my other electrics are put in their cases this one sits on a stand. Of course that means I play it more than the others. Never let's me down. I play it in my country band.

My first guitar and loving it, good for clean and classic stuff. I use id with my blues jr 3 special edition with a wizard speaker and gives it a good sound that has good distortion. I also use ernieball 11 gauge strings and have been working great. soon going to have to change of to some new pickups but the stock pickups are great too. Great buy

I started playing again after a 35 year hiatus. Family and career obligations but now I am getting reacquainted with an old friend. This guitar is simply awesome. Quality, workmanship and most of all tone. Highly recommended for any player no matter what skill level as this guitar will make you better. Had to get the Lake Placid blue as blue is my grand-daughters favourite colour. Love it! Thanks Fender!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
