Fender Jack White Triplecaster

Description

With his raw, gritty guitar tones and visionary approach to music, Jack White has solidified his status as one of the most influential guitarists of the modern era. Now, Fender honors White's storied career with the Jack White Triplecaster™ Telecaster®, an instrument as bold and unconventional as the artist himself.

This groundbreaking guitar fuses classic Fender style with carefully selected modern appointments to support and inspire White's ever-shifting musical prerogatives. The Triplecaster's chambered ash body provides punchy response and resonant tone. The maple neck has a comfortable soft "V" profile finished in sleek satin urethane with 22 medium jumbo frets set into the 12" radius maple fingerboard. The unique pickup configuration comprises a CuNiFe® Wide Range humbucker in the neck, JW-90 in the middle and a custom Jack White humbucker in the bridge, each voiced for maximum fidelity and character.

Routed through Jack's custom configured controls, this versatile trio delivers a wide palette of tones that can be throttled with the expressive arcade-style "Stutter" switch or transformed by the hidden-in-plain-view 3-way toggle that flicks up to mute the signal entirely or down to route your pickup selection "Direct-To-Jack" for even bigger bite. Other features include a 3-saddle bridge with compensated steel saddles, Bigsby® B-5 Vibrato, Fender sealed tuners with a Hipshot Xtender™ drop D tuner and a distinctive white powder coat finish on the hardware. Extra custom touches include the classy white armrest and black dot inlays with unique 3-dot patterns at the 12th fret and no inlay at the 21st.

The Triplecaster is without a doubt the jewel of Jack White's guitar collection, the key he and Fender crafted to unlock the next step in his artistry. Don't miss the chance to get your very own Triplecaster before they're gone. Order yours today and unlock a new world of tones.
