Fender Chrissie Hynde Telecaster - Iced Blue Metallic

Lovingly Crafted Tribute to Chrissie Hynde’s Treasured '65 Telecaster
An emotive singer and commanding frontwoman, Chrissie Hynde is also a knockout guitarist, churning out the propulsive rhythms that helped to define the Pretender’s raw and insistent sound. Chrissie’s axe of choice? Why, the Telecaster, of course. The Fender Chrissie Hynde Telecaster is a special, so special tribute to one of rock’s most recognizable Teles — a slab-bodied stalwart in Iced Metallic Blue with a chrome pickguard, perfectly Road Worn to mimic Chrissie’s beloved original. Beyond its signature good looks, the Chrissie Hynde Telecaster is a rock ’n’ roll machine, equipped with vintage-style '50s Tele pickups and manufactured with period-correct appointments for period-correct tone. Tap into the musical powerhouse that is the Chrissie Hynde Telecaster from Fender!



Road Worn alder body offers seasoned feel and aesthetics
The Chrissie Hynde Telecaster features a balanced-sounding alder body — a mainstay on Fender bodies that has a distinctive tone that’s at the center of some of rock ’n’ roll’s most enduring classics. A Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives this solidbody electric guitar the look and feel of Chrissie’s well-loved original. A 1-ply chrome pickguard, a 6-barrel bridge with stainless steel saddles, and vintage-style locking tuners put the perfect finishing touches on this Tele, supplying you with seasoned aesthetics plus rock-solid performance and tuning stability.






Vintage-style '50s pickups deliver classic Tele spank
Stocked with vintage-style '50s single-coil pickups, the Chrissie Hynde Telecaster is perfect for the player who desires the authentic sound of the first Telecasters to roll off the line. The heart and soul of these pickups is the Alnico 3 magnets that deliver a sweet midrange and tight bass that never gets overbearing. The enamel-coated wire used for winding the pickups and the cloth output wire are period-correct appointments. And the tin-plated copper base plate of the bridge pickup is what gives the vintage-style '50s Tele pickups that unmistakable Tele spank!




Mid-'60s "C"-shaped neck ensures easy playability
The Chrissie Hynde Telecaster is a treat to play, largely due to its mid-'60s "C"-shaped neck profile. A pleasantly stout neck, guitarists at Sweetwater find that its increased mass yields an incredibly natural feel, as well as excellent sustain. Its 7.25-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard is complete with 21 vintage-tall frets that feel incredible to play. The neck secures to the guitar’s alder body with a traditional 4-bolt plate, emblazoned with Chrissie’s initials, and includes a synthetic bone nut.
