Telecaster in hand, Chrissie Hynde formed The Pretenders in 1979 and quickly established the band as a rock and roll powerhouse. Chrissie's churning Tele rhythms have been the heartbeat of the band's rugged sound from the very beginning.
The Chrissie Hynde Telecaster features an alder body finished in Faded Ice Blue Metallic Road Worn® lacquer, a custom mid-'60s "C"-shaped maple neck with a 7.25" radius fingerboard - exactly matching Chrissie's original, vintage-output Chrissie Hynde Tele pickups and a chrome mirror pickguard - all matching the unmistakable look and feel of Hynde's treasured '65 model.
