MOTEL                                THE TRADITIONAL TED

While there are countless replicas of the Telecaster, this legendary guitar has never been revisited with such audacity. The Ted signature gives this legendary instrument the powers of aluminum, and your sound will thrill when it bursts from the sound holes of your Motel. All playing styles suit this guitar, the Ted version of which is set to become a classic and thus pays brilliant homage to its illustrious model.

NECK

Fans of this guitar will not be lost on a neck manufactured under Fender license in Japan.
It is however possible to choose the Ted handle in wood or in Aluminum (hollow neck).

 

CREL PICKUPS

Motel is available in 4 possible configurations:
simple / simple
double / single
Single / double
double / double

Still in collaboration with CREL, the dual humbucker type microphones are equipped with a split placed on the tone button.


Exceptional sustains allow you to intensify all the emotions in your music.

Motel produces a clear, well-defined and balanced sound, with a particularly noticeable warmth in the midrange.

You will control the sound of your Motel using a 3-position selector, a volume button and a tone equipped with a split if you have opted for a dual microphone.

ALUMINUM BODY

Ultra light for better playing comfort, it contributes to the sound as much as to the look.

The three sound holes of the Ted cases manage to make the guitars sound unplugged without disturbing your neighbors.

As with all guitar cases, aluminum will remember your indiscretions and your belt buckles.

But with the clarity of metal and its reflective power, your Ted guitar will reflect the light, and you'll have a hard time hiding behind its shine.
Depending on your style, you can choose Motel in Relic, Brute , Sidereal, Galaxy or Black finishes .
