Introducing the Fender J Mascis Telecaster, a signature model that embodies the defining character and tone of the renowned American guitarist. This Telecaster reimagines the 1958 top-loader Tele, J Mascis’ beloved instrument throughout his influential career in alternative rock. From his iconic work with Dinosaur Jr. to his solo records, J Mascis has been renowned for his distinctive style of generating massive fuzzy riffs, incendiary leads, and huge hooks using Fender guitars and stacks of amps.

The Fender J Mascis Telecaster embodies this legacy, offering a distinct blend of distorted crunch and sparkling highs courtesy of the custom J Mascis Telecaster pickups. It boasts a mirrored chrome pickguard that dazzles under stage lights, coupled with a Road Worn maple neck and hardware, lending it a worn-in, vintage feel that's smooth to the touch. The top-loader bridge, another signature feature, not only replicates the original 1958 model but also gives the guitar a unique feel and tonal quality.
