Marrying his love of country with hard rock, Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, as well as his own band, Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants, teamed up with Fender to create a classic Telecaster with more than enough modern bite. Based on his own '72 Tele Deluxe, the Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster's classic looks and construction are augmented with expanded tone controls, two specially-voiced "CS" signature humbucking pickups with nickel covers, and a maple "C"-shape neck with 12" fingerboard radius.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
