A very special Tele with a remarkable tale to tell
The Limited Edition Fender Custom Shop Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster is more than guitar, it's the latest chapter in a story that spans this inspirational artist's extensive songwriting career. Crow's own love affair with the Custom Tele began early, and she kicked off her own success story, fueled by the release of the popular Tuesday Night Music Club record, playing one of these fine guitars on stages around the world. In 1994, her original Tele, along with the rest of the band's gear, was stolen.

When her band performed at the Backyard in Austin, Texas, a fan approached Sheryl Crow, offering his own 1959 Custom Telecaster as a replacement. It had belonged to his mother, who had recently died of breast cancer, and he insisted the instrument was meant to be played. Crow graciously accepted the guitar, which quickly became one of her most prized instruments. In 2011, Crow brought this guitar to the Fender Custom Shop where it was recreated in meticulous detail. In fact, when she received the first Fender Custom Shop Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster, she mistook it for the original. So, when you pick up a Fender Custom Shop Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster, you might as well be holding Sheryl Crow's own beloved guitar.

Made from the most choice materials and hardware around
When the Fender Custom Shop set out to create the Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster, they certainly didn't skimp on materials. This beautiful instrument gives you the singular feel of a hand-selected lightweight alder body that's been double bound in the exact same fashion Fender pioneered in the late '50s. Topped with a gorgeous Faded Chocolate 3-Color Sunburst finish, you'd never be able to tell this guitar from the original. But looks aren't the only thing that make this guitar a spot-on remake of Sheryl Crow's original. A set of Vintage '63 Tele pickups capture the sound of an era in perfect detail, whereas finer touches such as the bone nut, vintage brass saddle bridge, and period-correct neck carve all add those unmistakable finishing touches that make the Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster a truly remarkable guitar.

Masterbuilt by Dale Wilson at Fender's Custom Shop
Ever since Fender Custom Shop master builder Dale Wilson was a boy, he's been dreaming up, designing, and creating guitars. He's as passionate about building amazing guitars as most lifelong players are about playing them. You can see this passion at work in every small detail of this Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster. Whether he's creating unique models or redefining an old classic, you can tell Wilson's work by the seamlessness of each joint and the exceptional quality of the materials he uses. We're sure you'll appreciate the way the Sheryl Crow 1959 Custom Telecaster reflects Dale Wilson's eye for detail and exceptional craftsmanship.
