Full Fender Telecaster Dimensions (a quick guide)

First, we should note that the dimensions of a Fender Telecaster are subject to change depending on a wide range of factors. While we can give approximate numbers, the exact measurements can differ depending on the following variables:

• Version/series of the Telecaster (Player, Professional, etc.)
• Year of manufacturing (Past year versions could differ)
• Used/new

And it depends how specific you want to be. The dimensions we're providing are almost always going to be close. But again, we'll hedge our bets by saying it's probably not 100 percent accurate.

That said, we'll start with the Fender Telecaster body dimensions. Primarily, we're focusing on the Fender Player Telecaster.

Note that these measurements do not include Squier Telecasters.

But for the most part, these measurements are going to be appreciably similar, if not identical.
