The Fender Tenor Tele is a modern spin on the 4 - string tenor guitar. Despite its compact size, it packs a punch with a huge sound. It can be tuned to the same pitches as the top 4 strings of a 6 - string guitar or various popular alternate tunings, making it a joy to play for guitarists. Here are the key specs: Body in Telecaster® shape, crafted from Alder with a Gloss Polyester finish. The fretboard is made of Maple, has a 9.5' (241 mm) radius, 21 frets, and black dot inlays. It comes with a Tenor Tele Alnico V Bridge Pickup. The bridge features 4 - saddle strings - thru - body with individually adjustable saddles. Nickel - plated steel strings in .009, .011, .016, .024 gauges are used. There's a 3 - ply black pickguard, standard cast/sealed tuning machines, and nickel/chrome hardware finish. It also includes a deluxe gig bag.
Using your Fender Tenor Tele is a breeze. First, tune it to your preferred pitch, either to match the top 4 strings of a 6 - string guitar or an alternate tuning. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. When playing, hold the guitar comfortably and use your fingers or a pick to pluck the strings. For maintenance, keep it in the provided deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. If you notice the strings are losing their tone, it's time to replace them. When adjusting the saddles on the bridge, do it gently to avoid any damage. And make sure to store the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping.
