Best Telecaster for Blues: Fender American Ultra Telecaster
With any Fender Telecaster, you'll be well served with a set of Fender Noiseless pickups, which are included with the American Ultra model. It's also one of the more affordable American series Teles, nicely balanced between the cheaper Player series and $2000+ American models. Those pickups also produce a really sweet and wailing tone that fits well with blues playing styles. Moreover, the Telecaster is just a very versatile guitar that can handle a wide range of genres and playing styles.
