Brad Paisley To Unveil New Signature Fender At Summer NAMM Show

Fender and Brad Paisley have teamed up to create a new Paisley signature guitar: the Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster. The guitar is designed to resemble one of the prized guitars in his personal collection, his silver sparkle Telecaster. The collaboration will be officially revealed during NAMM’s show this summer in Nashville.

“The best thing about having a Fender Signature Telecaster is the unwavering quality associated with the brand’s legacy and confidence that I’m introducing a great guitar at an incredible price point,” says Paisley. “I set out to create a guitar that was accessible for the vast majority of young people out there, who I hope to inspire to change the world with musical dreams.”

The guitar body is custom-made from a resonant paulownia center core with spruce top and back, with a custom wound ’64 Tele Bridge Pickup, an enhanced “V”-neck shape, and medium jumbo frets perfect for quick picking and bluesy over-the-neck bends. The roadworn silver sparkle finish, aged hardware, and paisley pickguard add the perfect rock star touch to the new Telecaster.

“Brad’s influence has reached every corner of modern guitar playing realm and music at large across all genres – not just country,” adds Justin Norvell, Senior Vice President, Fender Products. “Not only is it a beautiful guitar, but it has some amazing, unique features that we developed directly with him, namely the lightweight body and hot pickups. We amalgamated features from several of his favorite guitars, resulting in a truly compelling instrument we hope will empower players everywhere.”
