Fender, the iconic name in the world of guitars, has once again teamed up with a legendary artist to create a masterpiece that embodies the essence of timeless music. The Limited Edition Raphael Saadiq Telecaster® is a testament to the collaborative spirit between Fender and the acclaimed guitarist, bassist, producer, and Grammy-winning artist, Raphael Saadiq. Renowned for his discerning vision and penchant for vintage tones, Saadiq brings his signature style to this exquisite instrument, blending retro aesthetics with contemporary features to deliver an unparalleled playing experience.
Crafted to perfection, the Raphael Saadiq Telecaster boasts a top-bound ash body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fingerboard adorned with clay dots, vintage-tall frets, and a bone nut, ensuring a tone, look, and feel that stay true to Fender’s legacy. The classic ’59 “C”-shape neck, vintage-spec hardware, and flatter 9.5” fingerboard radius seamlessly complement the striking design elements, including a captivating dark red metallic finish, distinctive black binding, and a custom-tooled graphic pickguard.

These pickups deliver a crystalline, warm, and touch-sensitive tone that is synonymous with Fender’s renowned instruments, inspiring musicians to explore new musical dimensions.
In addition to its exceptional tonal qualities, the Raphael Saadiq Telecaster features a vintage-style 3-threaded-steel saddle Tele bridge and vintage tuners, providing the classic Telecaster look, tone, and feel that have made it a favorite among musicians for decades.
