Overview

Relive punk history with a meticulously crafted Joe Strummer replica Tele.

The Fender Custom Shop Joe Strummer Telecaster brings the raw, rebellious spirit of the legendary Clash frontman to life. Masterbuilt by Paul Waller, this limited-edition guitar authentically recreates Strummer's own 1966 Telecaster that defined the punk rock movement. Its resonant alder body and mid-'60s C-profile maple neck give you the worn-in feel of a road-tested classic. The round-laminated rosewood fingerboard provides smooth playability for power chords and razor-sharp riffs.

A Road-Tested Piece of Punk Heritage

The resonant alder body and worn mid-'60s "C"-shaped neck give you the feeling of holding a well-loved vintage instrument. Finished in Aged Black over Three-Color Sunburst lacquer and featuring a matching painted pickguard, every nick, dent and scratch acquired over decades of punk performance is faithfully reproduced. Two Josefina Campos hand-wound '67 Telecaster pickups provide the same snarling, attitude-filled tone that fueled The Clash's revolutionary anthems.

Built to Joe Strummer's Spec

From the 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard and Jescar 45085 frets to the 6-saddle bridge, Schaller tuners and brass nut, no detail was overlooked in recreating Strummer's Telecaster. The premium components are all era-correct, giving this guitar the performance and feel of a classic '60s Fender. The modern Tele wiring and 3-way switch provide contemporary playability while maintaining vintage spirit.

Raw, Expressive Tones

Josefina Campos hand-wound '67 Telecaster pickups deliver the same snarling, rebellious tones that defined The Clash's sound. With a three-way switch, you can access a range of sounds from punchy bridge pickup aggression to throaty neck pickup warmth. Modern Tele wiring provides additional tonal control for crafting your own signature punk rock voice.

Punk Authenticity and Modern Playability

This guitar comes with a replica of Joe Strummer's touring case, a limited-edition Joe Strummer strap and a certificate of authenticity signed by Paul Waller. Now you can experience a piece of music history and take home a guitar imbued with the raw passion of punk's most iconic anti-hero. Built for tone, attitude and endurance, the Fender Custom Shop Joe Strummer Telecaster Limited-Edition guitar brings you sounds and stories that will inspire players for generations to come.
