In the late 60’s, Fender® built several instruments made completely from beautiful hand-selected rosewood. These instruments were not built for long, and are highly collectible on the vintage market now. Jimi hendrix reportedly had one of the first rosewood Stratocaster® guitars and george harrison of the beatles used one of the original rosewood Tele guitars on Let It be, and for the infamous concert on the roof of Apple records in the movie. The rosewood Telecaster® guitar is once again offered as a Limited release for 2007 and will only be available until dec 31, 2007. each guitar comes with a Limited release certificate, case and neckplate, and is a replication of one of the most desirable Telecaster guitars in Fender history!
Andy Summers was just out of college in Southern California in the early 1970s when one of his guitar students offered to sell him a beat-up 1961 Fender® Telecaster that had obviously been modified by a previous owner. Summers bought the guitar for $200, and you and the whole world know the rest. back in London a few years later, he joined a noisy so-called punk outfit called the Police that rose to become the biggest band in the world, thanks in no small part to the deftly innovative and influential sounds Summers conjured from that beat-up Telecaster. hit after hit was recorded and performed on it—”roxanne,” “So Lonely,” “Walking on the Moon,” the breathtaking “Message In a bottle,” “don’t Stand So Close to Me,” “every Little Thing She does Is Magic,” “every breath you Take,” “Wrapped Around your Finger,” “Synchronicity II” and “king of Pain.” now, in 2007, Fender couldn’t be more proud and excited to unveil a very special 250-instrument Limited edition run of the Fender Custom Shop Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster as part of the Fender Custom Shop’s legendary Tribute Series. It’s a note-perfect replica of the 1961 Tele® that Summers used to help propel the Police to untold heights of worldwide pop superstardom.
• Ferocious humbucking neck pickup.• bridge pickup mounted in the body rather than in the broken brass (not chrome) bridge plate.• Control plate-mounted mini-toggle phase switch.• body-mounted preamp on/off mini-toggle switch (the original preamp “died,” galuszka said; the Custom Shop has recreated the Police-era preamp).• rear-mounted overdrive unit controlled by a third knob below the two traditional Telecaster volume and tone controls.• “Soft” brass bridge pieces.• Schaller® tuners. Summers played number one of the 250 replicas when the Police once again electrified the music world by reuniting on Feb. 11, 2007 to open the 49th annual grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. even more exciting, Summers will play the replica during the momentous 2007 30th anniversary worldwide Police reunion tour, one of the most hoped-for and eagerly awaited events in pop music history. It promises to be a thrilling musical event featuring one of rock’s most innovative guitarists playing a spot-on replica of one rock’s most distinctive guitars.
