With vintage good looks, modern playability, and powerful tone, the Fender Noventa is a formidable entry into the Telecaster’s lauded lineage. Classic tonewoods in the form of an alder body and maple neck give that familiar Tele feel, with a '60s “C” profile and pau ferro fingerboard making fast and accurate playing a breeze. The Noventa may be stripped down in looks, but that's not the case sound-wise. Its single MP-90 pickup is extremely versatile and easily shapeable via the single volume and tone knobs. The Fender Noventa's unmistakable Tele appearance is accented with many classy features, such as the unique half pickguard, a cut-off bridge, and vintage-style tuners. If you’re looking for a top-quality Tele that bridges the gap between vintage and modern, grab the Noventa, plug it in, and get playing — it will be love at first strum.
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.
Although it may seem simple in design, the Noventa Tele is anything but a one-trick pony. Music Experience guitarists are thoroughly impressed with the tonal output of the single Fender MP-90 pickup. 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.
Over a half-century of players can’t be wrong: the look, feel, and sound of a Telecaster are timeless. The Noventa takes everything extraordinary from a vintage Tele and accents it with several modern features. A stylish “half” pickguard and “cut-off” vintage-style bridge marry the old with the new, perfectly complementing the Noventa’s vintage tuning machines. Whether you're a Tele devotee or a fresh Fender player, the Noventa is perfect for guitarists of all ages and styles.
Combining classic Fender style and dynamic single-coil pickups, the Noventa series delivers powerful tones, modern playability and dashing good looks. The Noventa Telecaster® is a stripped-down rock machine – featuring a lone Noventa single-coil, master volume and tone controls, stylish ‘half’ pickguard and ‘cut’ Tele bridge – its striking good looks are matched by the midrange bite and snarling highs of the Noventa pickup. But this is no one-trick-pony – a surprisingly versatile and dynamic range of tones are on tap with the adjustment of the volume and tone controls. A '60s “C” neck with 21 medium jumbo frets and 9.5” radius fingerboard delivers a smooth blend of modern and vintage playability that is distinctly Fender.
The Noventa bridge pickup provides hot single-coil tones with enhanced midrange presence and touch-sensitive playability perfect for bell-like cleans or throaty, overdriven leads.
Remarkably comfortable, the "60s C"-shaped neck profile is sculpted for a substantial playing feel.
The Limited Edition Noventa Telecaster incorporates a modified “cut” bridge design featuring three brass barrel saddles for snappy Tele tone.
The 9.5” radius strikes an ideal balance between vintage and modern playability - rounded for comfortable chording yet flat enough for easy bending.
Medium Jumbo frets are effective for accurate bending and playing up the neck in the higher registers.
