Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has teamed up with Fender for the brand new Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe. The telecaster comes loaded with custom Kingfish humbuckers, an Adjusto-Matic bridge, a “V”-shaped Roasted Maple neck with a 12″ Radius Slab Rosewood Fingerboard, and of course a custom Kingfish neckplate. Topped off with a Mississippi Night finish and this thing is a damn blues machine.
“The Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe guitar gives me a sense of comfort when I’m playing across genres; everything from blues to smooth rock, it’s all about versatility,” said Kingfish.
“For me, it is important for people to play other genres. One of my favorite features on the Tele are my signature pickups because they’re a solid option for players in all genres. Being a blues player is a beautiful thing, but it’s about more than that. I’ve always been into heavy tones from my influences like Gary Moore and various blues players like Freddie King. I hope this Tele inspires players of all genres to dig in and rock out.”
