A Unique Tele from a Unique Artist!

Smith Tele is adorned with a custom lap-steel inlay pattern and the bridge is a custom "cut-off" style with three vintage brass saddles. This unique guitarist has played with the likes of Dylan and Bowie, and the Fender G.E. Smith Telecaster reflects his uniqueness!

Smith Telecaster and you be the judge!
Body-mounted pickup gives you more volume before feedbackOn the Fender G.E. Smith Telecaster, the bridge pickup is mounted directly to the Tele's body instead of to the bridgeplate. It's a common mod amongst Tele players, and many claim it allows you to achieve louder volume levels before feedback.
Vintage Tele pickups give you classic Fender toneWhile this is a unique take on the classic Telecaster, the tone is pure Fender all the way through. A pair of Vintage Telecaster single-coil pickups give the G.E. Smith Telecaster all of the chime and growl you expect from a Telecaster.
