Product Description
Introducing the Limited-Edition Raphael Saadiq Telecaster. Guitarist, bassist, multi-platinum producer and Grammy winning artist Raphael Saadiq built his reputation on the keen vision and vintage timbres that power his timeless productions.
Just like Raphael’s music, this timeless model seamlessly blends retro and contemporary elements to astounding effect.
Key Features
- Custom Raphael Saadiq Single-Coil Tele Pickups – Custom Raphael Saadiq Single-Coil Tele pickups up the ante for tones that will inspire, enchant and transport you to your own instant vintage dimension.
- 1-Ply Acrylic Pickguard with Custom Shape and Artwork - These Pickups have a captivating design, and will turn heads.
- 59’ C Shape Neck Profile – The C neck profile is the most comfortable guitar neck shapes available due to its comfort and suitability across genres.
Saadiq’s requisite appointments – ash body, maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard with clay dots, vintage-tall frets and bone nut – keep the tone, look and feel planted firmly in the Fender wheelhouse. The old-school ’59 “C”-shape neck and vintage-spec hardware harmonize with the flash paint job, distinctive black binding, custom-tooled graphic pickguard design and flatter 9.5” fingerboard radius to give the Raphael Saadiq Telecaster the best of both worlds.
