Are you a Monster Hunter fanatic? Of course, you are. Now, summon your Felyne or Palico and prepare for battle — it’s time to enter Siege mode with the Fender Monster Hunter Telecaster! Built to commemorate the ever-popular game franchise’s 20th anniversary, this Rathalos-themed solidbody electric guitar boasts a formidable alder body, an easy-playing rosewood fingerboard, and a flexible arsenal of custom-voiced pickups. A vintage-style, 3-saddle bridge equips the Monster Hunter Tele for Rapid-Fire Bowgun action, while vintage-style locking tuning machines keep everything locked tight in the midst of the hunt. The Monster Hunter Telecaster brandishes a Flying Wyvern-inspired back-body icon and fingerboard inlay, Hunter’s Guild crests on the front body, and distinctive feather and flame patterns throughout. Slick-looking black hardware and a head-turning satin polyester finish tie it all together. The Fender Monster Hunter Telecaster is a must-have for guitar collectors, franchise die-hards, or those on the prowl for a one-of-a-kind instrument.
The Monster Hunter Telecaster is equipped with two custom-voiced Rathalos pickups: a single-coil in the bridge and a humbucker in the neck. These outstanding pickups infuse the Monster Hunter Tele with an endless supply of rich, powerful tones — especially if you pair them with a distortion pedal. With this sonic weapon in hand, you’ll be well-equipped for a wide range of attack scenarios, enabling you to press forward with enough firepower to execute plan boomerang.
Some players like skinny necks; others prefer thicker necks. Thanks to its Modern C-shape neck, the Fender Monster Hunter Telecaster fits squarely in the middle with just enough chunk to enhance your sustain and add fullness to your tone. But don’t just take our word for it — plug the Monster Hunter Tele into your favorite amplifier, and you be the judge! What’s more, this solidbody electric guitar features an easy-playing 9.5-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. Bend a note or two on the Monster Hunter Tele, and you’ll be hooked. When we took this attention-grabbing axe for a test drive here at Music Experience, we had a hard time putting it back in its case (which is included, by the way).
Every detail of the Monster Hunter Telecaster is a call-out to the game. Most obvious is its Rathalos Red paint job, which is further accented by a Rathalos icon on the back body, Hunter’s Guild crests on the front body, and distinctive feather and flame patterns all over. The guitar’s tortoiseshell pickguard provides an eye-catching contrast. The Monster Hunter Tele also includes a cool-looking Flying Wyvern-inspired fingerboard inlay at the 12th fret and a custom-engraved “20th” logo on the neck plate.
