One of the most celebrated musicians of her generation, Susan Tedeschi’s powerful vocal performances and dynamic musicality are a testament to the vital emotive power of the blues. Her musical catalog as a solo artist and with Grammy-award winning Tedeschi Trucks Band showcases her prowess on both vocals and guitar.
The Susan Tedeschi Telecaster is patterned after the instantly identifiable Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Tele that has been Susan’s go-to since she first picked it up. Featured on the cover of Tedeschi’s seminal album “Just Won’t Burn” and still synonymous with her soulful brand of blues 25 years since – the simple sophistication of the Susan Tedeschi Telecaster shines brightly. From the slim Tedeschi “C” neck profile and modern block steel saddle bridge to the custom-voiced pickups and indispensable TBX tone circuit, these carefully calibrated elements combine to ensure that each Susan Tedeschi Telecaster delivers the authentic tone and inspiring playability of Tedeschi’s treasured original.

Highlights
CUSTOM SUSAN TEDESCHI SINGLE-COIL TELE® PICKUPS
These pickups sing with soulful sweetness and sting with bluesy grit, the perfect voice to find your space in a busy mix or cut above the thunder and roar.
TEDESCHI “C” PROFILE MAPLE NECK
Patterned after Susan’s original, this slim and comfortable profile fits like a glove for effortless playability.
9.5” RADIUS SLAB ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD WITH 22 MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS
Modern radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets provide unparalleled comfort and fluid playability. The slab rosewood fingerboard adds complementary warmth to the snappy attack of the maple neck.
MASTER VOLUME AND MASTER TBX™ TONE CONTROL
With our TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuit, this Tele offers a broader and brighter range of tones than a standard circuit. Turning the knob counterclockwise from the center position detent rolls off high frequencies like a traditional tone control; turning it clockwise from the detent adds presence and brightness.
6-SADDLE STRING-THROUGH-BODY TELE® WITH BLOCK STEEL SADDLES
This modern Tele bridge offers full adjustability and rock-solid stability with incredible tone and sustain.
CUSTOM NECK PLATE
Featuring Tedeschi Trucks own “Eagle” artwork, this custom neck plate is a fittingly personal touch.
