Solidbody Electric Guitar with Alder Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Aged Caribbean Mist

A Signature 6-string Built for the Blues

Proudly displayed on the cover of her breakthrough 1998 album, Just Won’t Burn, Susan Tedeschi’s 1993 American Standard Telecaster has served as her 6-string standby from the very beginning of her blues-bound journey. The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is proudly patterned after that unmistakable axe, right down to the striking Aged Caribbean Mist finish. In traditional Telecaster fashion, the Susan Tedeschi Telecaster starts with a lightweight alder body equipped with a modernized 6-saddle bridge with block steel saddles for superior intonation adjustment. Next, the slim Modern “C” profile maple neck wears a 9.5-inch-radius slab rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets that let you get by with wide, blues-inflected bends with nary a hint of fret out. Tone wise, Susan’s Tele features two custom-voiced Telecaster pickups that supply a soul sweet song, along with a passive TBX tone circuit that hits your amp hard with enhanced bass, treble, presence, and output. A fitting tribute to a true modern blues legend, the Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is an ideal choice for the guitarist with a passion for the blues that just won’t burn out.

Intonation-enhancing 6-saddle string-through bridge

Whether playing solo or going toe-to-toe with her husband Derek Trucks in the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Susan’s 1993 American Standard Telecaster is — 30-plus years down the road — still a staple of her stage and studio rig. What sets it apart from your typical Tele? The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s 6-saddle string-through bridge defies old-school Tele specs, supplying enhanced intonation accuracy. Moreover, traditional Tele adherents find this bridge’s block steel saddles result in a slightly brighter and crisper voice than standard brass saddles.

Slim, sleek neck

The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s neck provides a perfect foundation for emotive blues brilliance, beginning with a sleek shaft of maple carved into a custom Modern “C” profile. It’s a slim shape that makes sliding up and down the slab rosewood fingerboard a breeze. Topside, you get a 9.5-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets. It all comes together to supply you with a high-performance platform for both wide, emotive bends and comfortable rhythm comping.

Versatile TBX Tone Circuit

While the Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster may look like a standard Tele from the outset, the truth is that this 6-string is hiding a high-octane surprise under its tortoiseshell ’guard: Fender’s TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuit. This fully passive circuit utilizes a stacked 250k/1Meg potentiometer, with the first half of the sweep functioning as a standard tone control. However, once you roll up past six on the dial, the TBX circuit decreases resistance to boost your Tele’s presence, bass, treble, and output for a hotter and thicker tone.
