Relive the outlaw country legend's iconic tone and style.
The Fender Custom Shop Waylon Jennings Telecaster limited-edition electric guitar authentically recreates the country icon's famed 1954 Tele, right down to the worn-in leather body cover. Masterbuilder David Brown partnered with Jennings' family to replicate every detail, from decades of playing wear to the 10/56 V-shaped quartersawn maple neck. This Tele feels and plays just like the original model Jennings strummed on hits like "Luckenbach, Texas." Custom Shop '50/'51 Blackguard pickups specially voiced for vintage-accurate tone put that unmistakable early-'50s Tele twang at your fingertips, with crisp, clear highs and balanced mids and lows. The lightweight ash body and bone nut further enhance resonance and articulation. With the limited-edition Waylon Jennings Telecaster, you can summon the outlaw country legend's iconic tone and style.
Authentic Recreation of Jennings' 1954 Telecaster With Hand-Tooled Leather
This Tele intricately recreates Jennings' prized guitar in every detail, right down to the worn leather body cover. Masterbuilder David Brown examined the original instrument to capture decades of playing wear. The ash body is wrapped in hand-tooled leather, personalized with Jennings' signature and floral motifs just like the country star's guitar. Every nick, scratch and indent in the wood is meticulously recreated. From its smooth 10/56" V-shaped neck to the vintage-style hardware, the limited-edition Waylon Jennings Telecaster immerses you in the look and feel of the iconic outlaw's 1954 Tele.
Custom Shop Pickups Capture Vintage '50s Tele Twang
The custom-wound '50/'51 Blackguard pickups deliver that unmistakable early-'50s Telecaster tone Jennings favored. Compared to modern Tele pickups, these have lower output for an open, airy sound. The bridge pickup has heightened treble bite for stellar clarity on lead lines. Turn to the neck pickup for rounded lows and silky smooth mids. Just like the original Tele, switching between pickups takes you from snappy country riffs to mellow jazz chords. The pickups capture every nuance, from warm low-end thump to crisp high-end detail.
Playability Just Like Jennings' Original Guitar
The comfortable 10/56" V-shaped quartersawn maple neck offers smooth playability comparable to Jennings' 1954 Tele. The vintage 7.25" fingerboard radius and tall narrow frets make string bending a breeze. Whether you're ripping through solos or strumming open chords, the C-shaped profile conforms naturally to your hand. The lightweight ash body provides lively resonance without weighing you down. Plus, the bone nut offers exceptional tuning stability and clarity during bends. From its smooth neck feel to its rock-solid tuning, this Tele plays just like the country legend's well-loved original.
Includes Custom Hardshell Case and Accessories
The limited-edition Waylon Jennings Telecaster ships in a custom hardshell case featuring artwork of Jennings playing his iconic guitar on stage. A leather strap with the same floral tooling as the guitar cover lets you play for hours in comfort. An official certificate of authenticity documents the meticulous recreation of this outlaw country icon's legendary tone machine. For discerning country and rock players alike, this Telecaster revives Jennings' inimitable style.
Bring home the guitar, tone and vibe of an outlaw country pioneer. The limited-edition Waylon Jennings Telecaster authentically resurrects the legendary singer's go-to guitar in exacting detail. From its hand-tooled leather body to its vintage-voiced Tele pickups, this relic guitar plays, sounds and feels just like the icon's worn-in 1954 original.
