Q. What is the difference between an American Telecaster and a Mexican?
While an American Standard Telecaster will run you close to about a grand, a Mexican made Tele – such as this FENDER Standard Telecaster with Maple Fretboard – can be grabbed at about half the price. The first major difference between the two – besides the price – is the wood used for the bodies.
Q. Why is the Telecaster so popular?
Maybe that’s because the Telecaster has a reputation for attracting players of technical renown. The tight attack and quick response these guitars are known for can hew the rough edges off a sloppy technique in short order. This puts them in high demand for the precision of modern music styles.
Q. Are Mexican telecasters good?
Point is, even though you might prefer to buy an American-made guitar if you can, you don’t need to feel guilty buying a Mexican Telecaster. Standard Fenders might not be as perfect as their USA-made cousins, but they’re still pretty darn good guitars, especially for the price.
