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.
