Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this quilted maple top Telecaster from Fender's Rarities series.

This guitar is perfect for the guitarist that loves his Tele's but also wants something unique that will stand out from the crowd. Well, here you go! Immaculate playability, a beautifully vintage and vocal-like tone with loads of twang, and aesthetics that'll stop you dead in your tracks make this an awesome addition to any collection. We love that this guitar sounds vintage but looks modern. A wonderful marriage of old and new.
