Channel the raw, visceral energy of blues legend Albert Collins with the Fender Custom Shop Albert Collins Signature Telecaster. This exacting recreation captures every nuance of Collins´ iconic 1966 "Telecaster Deluxe" that helped forge his signature razor-sharp tone. From its double-bound swamp ash body to its custom Seymour Duncan and Fender pickups, this Tele puts Collins´ unmistakable voice in your hands.
A Lovingly Crafted Tribute to a Guitar Icon
Every element of the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster has been meticulously reproduced by the artisans at the Fender Custom Shop. The double-bound swamp ash body construction, ´60s-era maple neck profile and maple fingerboard with vintage-tall frets recreate the feel and resonance of Collins´ original. Vintage-style hardware including a strings-through-body bridge further evokes the instrument´s vintage vibe. You´ll swear you´re playing the Ice Man´s actual guitar.
Custom Pickups Deliver Albert´s Signature Bite
At the heart of Collins´ tone is a potent mix of grit and articulation. The Seymour Duncan ´59 humbucker at the neck provides thick, vocal midrange grind that cuts through any mix. It´s balanced by the Custom Shop Texas Special bridge pickup, which yields searing Telecaster twang with plenty of percussive attack and definition. Position the 3-way selector in the middle to combine both pickups for an authoritative fusion of warmth and bite.
Every Detail Honors a Blues Trailblazer
From its knurled flat-top knobs to its "top hat" switch tip, the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster is a faithful recreation down to the last detail. The 3-ply white pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware exude classic Fender style. Best of all, each guitar comes with premium accessories including a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity—ensuring this modern classic will be cherished for years to come.
Unleash Your Inner Ice Man
