That iconic Fender tone. Whether you're a total novice or a seasoned pro, you're likely to picture single coils, resonating with bright highs and crisp mids.

Designed to Make You Play Better
What's more important: great tone or easy playability? The answer… why choose? The Troublemaker Tele does the impossible, catering to all the demands of the professional guitarist. Alongside its unmistakable sound, this iconic axe brings comfort to the table. Play a soaring lead at any fret position without the limitations of hand strain. The modern C neck profile is slim enough to allow chord shapes to go unhindered, yet rounded enough to feel natural in your hands. You'll have unrestricted access to the upper registers of your guitar, feeling confident you can carry on for longest of shows. And with a satin lacquer finish, you'll be playing riffs faster than you ever have before.
Vibrato You Can't Ignore
Few companies can say they've revolutionised the electric guitar. But Bigsby can. Their coveted tremolo system allows players to pitch bend notes or entire chords with their pick hand. The best part? You never lose tuning or your fret position. The Troublemaker Tele comes fitted with a custom-built tail piece and tremolo arm, giving you unlimited freedom to make your guitar soar and dive. True vibrato meets true style.
Pitch Perfect Tuning with Every Single Note
Poor intonation is a guitarist's worst nightmare. Picture the scene: You're laying down a tasty chord progression, go to show your talent with a fierce solo, and the next thing you know you're half a step out of tune. Don’t get kicked off the stage. The Troublemaker Tele boasts flawless tuning stability and intonation thanks to a fully adjustable bridge. A bone string nut helps prevent string pull, whilst Fender's custom diecast tuning machines keep everything in check. Each feature works together in harmony, making your performance go completely without fault.
