FENDER SUSAN TEDESCHI TELE

Description

One of the most celebrated musicians of her generation, Susan Tedeschi's powerful vocal performances and dynamic musicality are a testament to the vital emotive power of the blues. Her musical catalog as a solo artist and with Grammy-award winning Tedeschi Trucks Band showcases her prowess on both vocals and guitar.

The Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is patterned after the instantly identifiable Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Tele that has been Susan's go-to since she first picked it up. Featured on the cover of Tedeschi's seminal album "Just Won't Burn" and still synonymous with her soulful brand of blues 25 years since the simple sophistication of the Susan Tedeschi Telecaster shines brightly. From the slim Tedeschi "C" neck profile and modern block steel saddle bridge to the custom-voiced pickups and indispensable TBX tone circuit, these carefully calibrated elements combine to ensure that each Susan Tedeschi Telecaster delivers the authentic tone and inspiring playability of Tedeschi's treasured original.
