Telecasters normally have 2 pickups, one positioned at the bridge and the other positioned at the neck of the guitar. At the bridge position the Telecaster will produce a sharper tone with more bite and attack while the neck position is smoother and has more warmth. There are also some very famous blues guitar players who have adopted a Tele as their principal guitar, just pushing the distortion into break-up with a harder attack.

The fender telecaster Guitar Story
The sale of Fender Telecaster can be traced back to the era of 1950 when the single and dual pickup Esquire models were being commercially produced. This is what makes Fender Telecaster one of the world’s highest ranking solid body electric guitar.
The first form of Fender Telecaster was known as the Esquire and there were about fifty guitars that were produced originally. The bodies of the guitars were band-sawed and the necks of the guitars were bolt-on because of making the repair and service really easy. The wiring of the modern Fender Telecaster is also different from the classic one, which is a 3-way toggle switch, which selects neck pickup in the first position, neck and bridge pickups together in the second position and in the third position is the bridge pickup. The volume control for all pickups is in the first knob and the second knob controls the tone for all pickups.
