Fender Noventa Telecaster Vintage Blonde 2021 Fender

Fender Noventa Telecaster, vintage blonde, made in Mexico 2021. Now and then, Gibson will borrow ideas from Fender, which has resulted in some pretty weird offerings like the Marauder and the S1. When Fender borrows ideas from Gibson, you get something like this: it’s a Tele, but with a single soapbar style pickup and simple electronics. Visually, it’s great: the cabronita style guard and ’51 Precision style control plate are cool little touches, and the classic blonde and maple combo still works a treat. The tone on offer is a growly, rich twang: still plenty of brightness and snap, but with a girthy midrange fullness that fills out rhythm parts heartily. This one is not far off brand new in terms of condition, so you can save a few hundred buckos compared to grabbing a freshly boxed one from K-Mart Music Centre Australia’s Most Rockin’ Music Store By Musicians For Musicians Best Prices Guaranteed.
