Fender G.E. Smith Telecaster Signature Artist Serie, Tele in Honey blond mit Maple Griffbrett
As a child during the early 1960s, George Edward “G.E.” Smith got a Telecaster guitar for his birthday one year, and never looked back. Through his six hit-making years with Hall & Oates, his decade-long run as Saturday Night Live bandleader and his touring stints with Bob Dylan, Smith is widely hailed as a modern master of the Telecaster.
We’re honored to present his new signature Tele®, a special guitar that combines a ’40s-era Fender lap steel with a ’50s-era Telecaster.
