The Fender Telecaster Deluxe is a solid-body electric guitar originally produced by Fender from 1972 to 1981. Designed to compete with Gibson's Les Paul as rock music grew heavier in the 1970s, the Deluxe differs from most Telecaster models by featuring two humbucker pickups, each with its own volume and tone controls, and a larger pickguard. The Deluxe failed to find an audience during its initial production run, but it became popular beginning in the 1990s among rock guitarists, especially in Britpop and indie, and Fender resumed production in 2004.
