Tribute to a punk icon - The Joe Strummer Telecaster from the FenderCustom store
As the charismatic frontman of punk legends The Clash, Joe Strummer left an indelible mark on music history with his raw, uncompromising playing style – fueling a movement that inspired acts like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. To honor his enduring legacy, Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder Paul Waller has crafted the Fender Limited Edition Joe Strummer Tele Heavy Relic: a meticulous replica of Strummer’s iconic stage guitar. With painstaking attention to detail, this Masterbuilt model captures every worn-in imperfection and the battle-scarred charm of the original – an authentic piece of punk rock history you can hold in your hands.
The Fender Joe Strummer Tele Heavy Relic RW Aged Black is a masterpiece by Fender master builder Paul Waller.
The grain of the alder body is visible on the back of the cabinet.
Sixties Telecaster made from alder & maple
This faithful reproduction is based on Joe Strummer’s 1966 Telecaster, famously used during The Clash’s legendary London Calling era. The guitar features a two-piece alder body and a bolt-on maple neck carved into a slim’60s-style oval “C” profile, offering a perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern playability. The 21-fret AAA rosewood fingerboard completes the retro setup, delivering a smooth, responsive playing surface that feels instantly familiar to fans of classic Fender builds.
Two highly sought-after '67 Tele single coils wound by Josefina Campos give the Joe Strummer Telecaster its assertive voice.
Hand-wound '67 single coils by Josefina Campos
For vintage-accurate tone, master pickup winder Josefina Campos has crafted a set of hand-wound '67 Telecaster single coils that capture the gritty, dynamic voice of the early CBS era. The pickups deliver a bold, unpolished tone – full of raw energy, spiky mids, and sharp treble bite – perfect for the explosive punk and rock stylings that Strummer was known for. The traditional 3-way switch and volume/tone controllayout keep things simple and true to the classic Tele format, ensuring a responsive, expressive playing experience.
Iconic appointments
What truly sets this guitar apart is its unmistakable look. The “Aged Black over 3-Color Sunburst” Heavy Relic finish perfectly mirrors the well-worn aesthetic of Strummer’s original guitar, complete with aged hardware, realistic wear patterns, and even replicated stickers from the original instrument. Each piece is Masterbuilt by Paul Waller and comes with a certificate of authenticity, a Joe Strummer signature strap, and a deluxe black hardshell case, making this guitar a coveted collector’s item as well as a high-performance instrument.
