Fender Telecaster Left Handed Electric Guitars

If you're playing a Fender left handed electric guitar, you're standing tall on a 50-year legacy that has as much to do with the sound of modern country and rock-and-roll as the artists playing them. The Fender Telecaster respects the left-hander by taking what generates that famous sound and putting it into a guitar that a southpaw can comfortably maneuver without extensive modifications.

Like their right handed counterparts, Fender Telecaster Left Handed Electric Guitars are found with the traditional solid alder body (the ’52 can be found in ash), and single-coil neck and bridge pickups. Combined with the classic rolled fret board edges, these features give it that distinct "Tele Tone" that ranges from bright and sparkling to growling and thunderous. Precious few alterations have been made to the original design. Recent changes include a new stabilizing 5-screw mounted brass bridge plate, bent steel saddles and longer string slots resulting in better sustain. The thinner new undercoat finish allows for richer resonance from the guitar body.

You can find reproductions like the '52 American Vintage Series that deliver the famous Fender sound and the new features. Although the thick rounded neck might be cumbersome for a player with smaller hands, many favor the feel of the wide grip. Experienced players suggest you play the new ones in the store, to ferret out any factory flaws such as loose knobs and other moving parts.

Fender left-handed electric guitars have a wide appeal. The classic, sharp look of the Telecaster draws in the casual player who wants a guitar with a distinctive look, while professional players choose it for its versatility and range of sound. You can spend thousands on an antique or just under two thousand for a 50's or 60's reproduction. As left handed electric guitars go, this one doesn't disappoint.
