The Fender James Burton Telecaster from the Artist Series pays tribute to the legendary guitarist James Burton, who has been a renowned musician in the US music industry since the late 1950s and has worked with a large number of great artists. James Burton worked with icons such as Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash and was a live musician in the backing band of the King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis Presley in the 1970s. With his preferred Telecaster sound and extraordinary playing technique, he left his mark on the world of blues, country and rock 'n' roll, and was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. His signature model is just as versatile as the artist himself and comes with great features that expand the iconic Telecaster sound and enable maximum Tele twang. The Telecaster comes with vintage-style tweed case and certificate!

Although the pickup configuration of the James Burton Telecaster with its three single coils is atypical for a Tele, it provides a versatile sound that is ideal for use in the genres in which James Burton was most at home!

Depending on the position of the 5-way toggle, not only can soft mids and clear highs be tickled out of the guitar, but crisp nuances and expressive vocal sounds can also be produced thanks to the pickup in the middle position. Whether clean, crunch or warm overdrive: the versatility of the James Burton sound is definitely reflected in his signature model!
