Fender Limited Edition Raphael Saadiq Telecaster, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Metallic Red
~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
Description
Introducing the Limited-Edition Raphael Saadiq Telecaster®. Guitarist, bassist, multi-platinum producer and Grammy winning artist Raphael Saadiq built his reputation on the keen vision and vintage timbres that power his potent productions – Like Raphael’s music, this timeless model seamlessly blends retro and contemporary elements to astounding effect.
Saadiq’s requisite appointments – ash body, maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard with clay dots, vintage-tall frets and bone nut – keep the tone, look and feel planted firmly in the Fender wheelhouse. The old-school ’59 “C”-shape neck and vintage-spec hardware harmonize with the flash paint job, distinctive black binding, custom-tooled graphic pickguard design and flatter 9.5” fingerboard radius to give the Raphael Saadiq Telecaster the best of both worlds. Custom Raphael Saadiq Single-Coil Tele® pickups up the ante for tones that will inspire, enchant and transport you to your own instant vintage dimension. Deluxe hardshell case included.
The guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive. It comes with Fender's Factory Warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee! It will be professionally set up and ready to play before it leaves our store.
