Description
Grammy-winning guitarist and songwriter John Osborne has captivated country music with his distinctive artistry, earning multiple top 10 hits, seven Academy of Country Music awards and six Country Music Association awards. His masterful guitar work and inspired songwriting continue to build a devoted fanbase, solidifying his position as one of country music's most influential and prominent artists.
This highly-customized Telecaster features Fender's own B string bending mechanism – the secret weapon that encourages pedal steel-like chords and lead lines by raising the B string’s pitch up to a whole step.
Closely modeled after his personal guitar; this instrument delivers professional-grade performance with classic Fender craftsmanship. The alder body provides balanced tone and sustain, while the Road Worn® oil finished '68-style maple neck with maple cap fingerboard offers smooth playability and vintage aesthetics.
The Road Worn® Olympic White finish captures the authentic wear and character of a gigging musician's trusted instrument. With custom-voiced John Osborne Telecaster pickups, custom pickguard and 3 compensated brass barrel saddles, the John Osborne signature Telecaster delivers everything from shimmering clean tones to growling overdrive.
