Step into the shoes of a blues legend with the Fender Albert Collins Signature Telecaster Electric Guitar. This meticulously crafted instrument is a tribute to the iconic "Ice Man" himself, capturing the essence of his unmistakable sound and style. Developed in collaboration with the Fender Custom Shop, this guitar boasts a double-bound swamp ash body that offers a resonant and vibrant tone, reminiscent of Collins' original 1966 Telecaster Deluxe.

The guitar features a '60s-style maple neck and fingerboard, providing a smooth playing experience with vintage-tall frets for effortless bending and articulation. At the heart of this six-string marvel is a Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker at the neck, delivering a rich, midrange-heavy tone perfect for cutting through any mix. Complementing it is the Custom Shop Texas Special bridge pickup, offering that quintessential Tele twang with a percussive bite. Whether you’re after a thick bluesy growl or sharp, articulate leads, this guitar has the versatility to deliver both.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the vintage-style hardware to the authentic knurled flat-top knobs and "top hat" switch tip. This guitar doesn't just sound the part—it looks it too, with a classic 3-ply white pickguard and gleaming nickel/chrome hardware. Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, strap, and certificate of authenticity, the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster is not just an instrument, but a piece of musical history.
