Fender has teamed up with the legendary Susan Tedeschi for the brand new Susan Tedeschi Telecaster. The signature model is based on Tedeschi’s Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Telecaster, which you might recognize from seminal album Just Won’t Burn. Or like, any time you’ve ever seen her play live.
“I’m so excited to unveil my new signature Telecaster,” said Tedeschi. “Honestly it’s a dream. I just wanted to be able to play the guitar, so to have my own signature model is a real honor. It’s going to feel insane to see it in the hands of players. The guitar feels so comfortable and it plays so well, so I think lots of people are going to enjoy it.”
The Susan Tedeschi Telecaster offers a 9.5″ Rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets atop a 25.5″-scale Maple neck with a slim Tedeschi “C” shaped profile, an Alder body, Custom Susan Tedeschi Single-Coil Tele Pickups, and Master TBX Tone Control.
“Susan Tedeschi is a major force in contemporary blues-based music, and it’s so exciting to be honoring her with her very own signature guitar,” said Justin Norvell, EVP Product at FMIC.
“Fans of Tedeschi will be very familiar with her original 1993 American Standard Telecaster and its iconic Caribbean Mist finish, so it’s great to be able to offer them such a faithful recreation. With its supremely comfortable slim ‘C’ neck and incredible custom-voiced pickups, this model offers an exceptionally enjoyable playing experience.”
The Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is available here for $1,899.
