Old Story, Sweet New Guitars
The Fender Standard Telecaster – Butterscotch Blonde.
There are few things in life more reassuring than the sight of a Strat in sunburst or the snap of a Tele in butterscotch. It’s a musical comfort blanket—only this blanket has tone for days and a legacy that rewrote rock ’n’ roll.
Well, good news: the brand-new Fender Standard Series has officially touched down at Musicmaker Dublin, and we’re buzzing harder than a hot single-coil in front of a dodgy amp.
The Fender Standard Stratocaster – 3-Tone Sunburst
A Quick History Lesson – The Standard Series Story
Before we dig into the delicious details, let’s set the stage.
The original Fender Standard Series was born in the late 1980s as a more accessible way to get that iconic Fender feel—without shelling out for the American models. Built in Mexico, these guitars quickly gained street cred for being hard-working, great-sounding instruments that could take a beating and still turn heads.
For years, they were the choice of touring bands, bedroom shredders, session players, and first-time buyers alike. And now? Fender’s given the series a fresh twist—modern playability, updated materials, and a look that screams classic Fender in all the right ways.

Fender Standard Stratocaster – 3-Tone Sunburst Perfection
You know it. You love it. You probably tried to draw it in your school books once.
The Fender Standard Stratocaster in 3-Tone Sunburst is the blueprint for electric guitars. This new version keeps everything you want—a curvy contoured body, silky neck, and that unmistakable “quack” in positions 2 and 4—but gives it a modern tune-up that makes it play like a dream.
What’s Cooking:
- Poplar Body – Lighter than alder, but still full of snap and resonance.
- Maple Neck, Modern “C” Profile – Fast, comfy, and perfect for any style.
- Indian Laurel Fretboard – Smooth under the fingers with a 9.5" radius for those juicy bends.
- Three Ceramic Single-Coils – All the glassy highs, hollow mids, and tight lows you'd expect.
- 2-Point Tremolo System – Say goodbye to tuning drama and hello to subtle wiggles or full-blown dive bombs.
If you're chasing that Hendrix/SRV/Mayer/Clapton thing (or all of them in one song), this Strat gets you very close—without requiring a second mortgage.
A modern classic, the Standard Telecaster
Fender Standard Telecaster – Butterscotch Blonde Brilliance
And now… the twang machine. The tone tool of choice for everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Jimmy Page to St. Vincent. The Fender Standard Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde is unapologetically simple—and that’s its superpower.
This new model takes the Tele template and tweaks it just enough to make it smoother, more refined, and ready for anything from blues to punk to country (and yeah, even metal—if you’re brave enough).
Features Worth Buzzing About:
- Poplar Body – Light, responsive, and surprisingly warm.
- Maple Neck & Fretboard – Classic combo, snappy and bright with a super-slick satin finish.
- Modern "C" Neck Shape – Play chords for hours or shred solos without hand cramps.
- Fender Ceramic Single-Coils – Clean and sparkly with enough bite to cut through any mix.
- String-Through Tele Bridge – Sustain for days and perfect intonation.
There’s something about a Butterscotch Blonde Tele with a black pickguard that just feels right. Add a little overdrive and you’ll be asking yourself why you didn’t get one sooner.
