Timeless Tele design made for today’s players

When crafting a tried-and-true Telecaster, Fender’s thorough attention to detail and quality necessitates some requirements. Needless to say, the Noventa proudly ticks all the boxes. Alder bodies and Fender have gone hand in hand for decades, imbuing a full-bodied tone with great sustain and a solid feel. You’ll love the bright, snappy sound of the maple neck, with its comfortable and classic ‘60s “C” profile and 9.5-inch radius pau ferro fingerboard blending vintage and modern vibes into a guitar that is all Fender.

Single-pickup design unlocks a spectrum of sound

As expected, the traditional chime and clarity of a single-coil pickup are easily achieved. Push the MP-90 to the limit, and you’ll be treated to a thick, aggressive tone, complete with beefy mids and growling highs. Plus, the Noventa’s single volume and tone knobs react exceptionally well when sculpting your perfect sound.
