Description
Joe Strummer changed the face of music as we know it with his fiery lyrics and dynamic performances as the frontman of legendary punk band The Clash. The Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster is modeled after his iconic '66 Tele, and it's a rockin' axe that oozes character from top to bottom.
This guitar features an alder body that gives it a bright, punchy tone, and its Roadworn black over sunburst finish perfectly captures the heavily-gigged vibe of Strummer's own Telecaster. Its mid-'60s "C" shaped maple neck and 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard offer an incredibly comfortable feel that's great for riffing on chugging rhythm parts and blistering solos. Players who love that classic Tele sound will love this guitar's custom-voiced Joe Strummer pickups, which churn out a stellar array of top-notch tones, from clear and bell-like to bright and twangy. And, thanks to its vintage-style 6-saddle bridge, period-correct 3-ply parchment pickguard, and vintage-style tuning machines, this beauty looks and feels just like a real '66 Tele.
Complete with a hardshell case for safe and easy transport, the Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster is perfect for fans of The Clash and anyone seeking an excellent guitar built for fast, aggressive, 'in your face' punk.
