Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster Electric Guitar Aged Caribbean Mist

Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster Electric Guitar Aged Caribbean Mist – One of the most celebrated musicians of her generation, Susan Tedeschi’s powerful vocal performances and dynamic musicality are a testament to the vital emotive power of the blues. Her musical catalog as a solo artist and with Grammy-award winning Tedeschi Trucks Band showcases her prowess on both vocals and guitar. The Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is patterned after the instantly identifiable Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Tele that has been Susan’s go-to since she first picked it up. Featured on the cover of Tedeschi’s seminal album “Just Won’t Burn” and still synonymous with her soulful brand of blues 25 years since – the simple sophistication of the Susan Tedeschi Telecaster shines brightly. From the slim Tedeschi “C” neck profile and modern block steel saddle bridge to the custom-voiced pickups and indispensable TBX tone circuit, these carefully calibrated elements combine to ensure that each Susan Tedeschi Telecaster delivers the authentic tone and inspiring playability of Tedeschi’s treasured original.

Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster Electric Guitar Aged Caribbean Mist

Intonation-enhancing 6-saddle string-through bridge

Whether playing solo or going toe-to-toe with her husband Derek Trucks in the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Susan’s 1993 American Standard Telecaster is — 30-plus years down the road — still a staple of her stage and studio rig. What sets it apart from your typical Tele? The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s 6-saddle string-through bridge defies old-school Tele specs, supplying enhanced intonation accuracy. Moreover, our traditional Tele adherents find this bridge’s block steel saddles result in a slightly brighter and crisper voice than standard brass saddles.

Slim, sleek neck

The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s neck provides a perfect foundation for emotive blues brilliance, beginning with a sleek shaft of maple carved into a custom Modern “C” profile. It’s a slim shape that makes sliding up and down the slab rosewood fingerboard a breeze. Topside, you get a 9.5-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets. It all comes together to supply you with a high-performance platform for both wide, emotive bends and comfortable rhythm comping.

Versatile TBX Tone Circuit

While the Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster may look like a standard Tele from the outset, the truth is that this 6-string is hiding a high-octane surprise under its tortoiseshell ’guard: Fender’s TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuit. This fully passive circuit utilizes a stacked 250k/1Meg potentiometer, with the first half of the sweep functioning as a standard tone control. However, once you roll up past six on the dial, the TBX circuit decreases resistance to boost your Tele’s presence, bass, treble, and output for a hotter and thicker tone.
