By Paul Balmer
Got a Tele? Seriously, get this book! It's the first how-to guide specifically for the Telecaster®, packed with expert tips and tricks from guitar technicians. You'll learn the essentials of setup, easy repairs, do-it-yourself maintenance, how to hot-rod the circuitry, tips on helpful tools, and lots more. This is a colorful, well-organized book with step-by-step photos, plus "case studies" of 14 different Tele models, old and new. It's the missing owner's manual! 196 pages, hardcover.

Tele Handbook

This is a useful book if you're trying to get a lot of information about the Telecaster. It's not a technical manual, but does have useful technical info. It's really a blend of history, hero-worship (heroes of the Telecaster that is), and technical details about various Telecaster models produced by Fender since the introduction of the Broadcaster in the early 1950s.

Despite the lack of detail indicated by the happy mis-spelling of the Telecaster name as "Telecasater" on the book's spine--a name I really like, by the way; it sounds like a Julia Child sauce-- the book is accurate and full of information that may not all be useful, but is all interesting if you are a fan of the now 60 year old Model T of electric guitars.

Tele Handbook

The Telecaster Handbook is pretty good. Some of it is fluff, but it does have some useful information. Most Tele players will enjoy this book.
