Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster (DEMO)

Description

As front man and main songwriter of legendary punk band, The Clash, Joe Strummer created a fiery, passion-filled brand of up-tempo punk-rock that catapulted the band into rock and roll history. Strummer’s rebellious musical sensibilities injected the band’s songs with the lightning-in-a-bottle political urgency of the era.

To capture the vibe of Joe’s well-worn ’66 model, the Joe Strummer Telecaster® features a Road Worn® lacquer-finished Alder body, a mid-‘60s “C”-shape maple neck with 7.25” radius Rosewood fingerboard and a set of custom-voiced Joe Strummer Telecaster® pickups. Other features include a vintage-style 6-saddle Telecaster® bridge, era-correct 3-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines and a custom neck plate, all featuring Fender’s Road Worn® finish to complete the look.

• Alder body with Road Worn® Lacquer finish
• Maple neck with 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard
• Custom Neckplate
• Vintage-style 6-Saddle Tele Bridge

ALDER BODY

A light resonant wood known for balanced tone and a fat, punchy attack.

MID-‘60S “C”-SHAPE MAPLE NECK WITH ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD

The comfortable and familiar neck profile allows easy playability up and down the neck, while the rosewood fingerboard adds complementary warmth to the snap of the maple neck.

7.25” RADIUS FINGERBOARD WITH 21 VINTAGE-STYLE FRETS

Vintage-spec fingerboard and frets like they came from the factory in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

CUSTOM JOE STRUMMER ’60S SINGLE-COIL TELECASTER PICKUPS

Custom Joe Strummer Vintage single-coil ‘60s Telecaster pickups allow players to capture classic Tele tone.

ROAD WORN® VINTAGE-STYLE HARDWARE

From the vintage-style tuners and 6-saddle Telecaster bridge to the knurled knobs and control plate, the Road Worn hardware recreates the look of a well-played vintage instrument.

ROAD WORN® LACQUER FINISH

The Road Worn lacquer finish aging process emulates the wear and tear on Joe Strummers’ original, well-loved Tele.
