An Official Tribute to the "Bakersfield Sound"
This Telecaster celebrates country legend Buck Owens and his flamboyant stage aesthetic popularized through the "Hee Haw" era. The tricolor sparkle finish, double white binding, and matching headstock recreate the look of his signature instrument, while the craftsmanship and electronics honor the spirit of the historic Teles that defined the Bakersfield sound.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Ideal for guitarists playing country, honky-tonk, rockabilly, Americana, and vintage rock. Its vintage playing comfort makes it accessible to intermediate musicians, and its sharp character will also appeal to pros seeking precise twang both in the studio and on stage.
The Sound
The alder body and maple neck/fingerboard provide a clear, lively, and articulate tone. The Alnico 3 bridge pickup delivers the typical Tele's snappy attack, rich harmonics, and "bite," while the Alnico 2 neck pickup adds roundness and warmth for singing leads and smooth rhythms. The vintage 3-saddle bridge and string-through design enhance punch, sustain, and responsiveness. With master volume, tone, and a 3-position selector switch, you can move from bright twang to softer sounds without losing definition.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Nickel 9-42 string set (Fender 250L type) to preserve original tension and brightness.
- Hard case or Telecaster-format gig bag for solid body with uncut heel (standard Tele compatibility).
- Curved capo suited to vintage 7.25" radius.
- Standard guitar strap (vintage-style strap buttons).
