Country music legend Buck Owens — pioneer of the raw, electrified “Bakersfield Sound” — forever transformed country music with his signature Telecaster® twang. Now you can channel the spirit of this country icon with the Buck Owens Telecaster, a flashy, hot-rodded Tele® bearing Buck's signature sparkle and shine. Based on Buck's own custom Tele played throughout his innovative career and into the Hee Haw years, everything about this guitar — from the vintage snap and sizzle of the custom single-coils to the gleam of the red, silver and blue sparkle finish —screams Bakersfield.

The Buck Owens Telecaster features an alder body finished in signature red, silver and blue sparkle with double white binding for the iconic look of Buck's custom Tele. The late '50s "C"-shaped maple neck features 7.25" radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage frets, with a matching three-color sparkle finish headstock. Equipped with custom Buck Owens Alnico 3 and Alnico 2 single-coil Tele pickups, this guitar delivers the bright, cutting tone that defined Buck's Bakersfield country sound. Other features include lustrous gold vintage-style hardware, from the 3-saddle strings-through-body bridge to the knurled flat-top knobs and gleaming gold mirror pickguard.

Don't miss your chance to own this historic and collectible instrument celebrating Buck Owens' pioneering Tele twang.

Highlights

DOUBLE-BOUND ALDER BODY

A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end. Classy white binding adorns the top and back of the alder body.

MATCHING PAINTED HEADSTOCK

The vibrant sparkle finish extends to the elegant paint matched headstock.

GOLD HARDWARE AND MIRRORED GOLD PICKGUARD

Lustrous gold hardware and mirrored gold pickguard complete the look of this hot-rodded Tele.

7.25” RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD WITH VINTAGE FRETS

The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides old-fashioned comfort, while vintage frets provide classic feel for bends and vibrato.

VINTAGE-STYLE EARLY-'50S TELE PICKUPS

There’s really nothing like the timeless singing, snapping, screaming and sparkling sound of a Fender single-coil pickup. These ‘50s spec pickups are full of the crystal-clear chime and raw, steely twang that made Fender instruments famous.

VINTAGE-STYLE 3-SADDLE BRIDGE WITH BARREL BRASS SADDLES

The Buck Owens Telecaster® features a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three brass “barrel” saddles for authentic ‘50s twang.
