Instrument companies continues releasing limited edition instruments to pay tribute to legendary artists, we introduced you the Gibson John Lennon Les Paul some days ago, and now its turn for the late The Clash frontman Joe Strummer with the Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster that has been based on a Telecaster owned by Strummer and played in the Clash’s years.
The Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster features alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, 25.5″ scale length, Vintage Style 3-saddle Tele bridge, two vintage style Alnico Magnets Tele single-coil pickups, 3-way pickup switch and one volume and one tone controls. The guitar also features a relic touch with the worn-to-the-wood custom finish that reproduces the original guitar state.
The guitar also comes with hardshell case and some Joe Strummer items like an album cover, some art prints, stickers, … The Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster will be available in September and its price will be $899.99, there will be only 1,500 packaged units (including stickers, album cover, …) but the production run of the guitar will be 4,500 units.
Some problems–
A.) The guitar will not be limited to 1,500 units– the package with the stencils, stickers, and other art items will be. The guitar itself will be limited to 4,500.
B.) The guitar is very affordable at $899. Available for pre-order now.
Thanks for the info Caleb, the post has been corrected.
Glad I could help!
