Fender Brad Paisley Telecaster Black Sparkle Maple Fingerboard

Fender Brad Paisley Telecaster Black Sparkle Maple Fingerboard Overview

Introducing the limited-edition Brad Paisley Road Worn® Telecaster®, a collaboration between Fender and modern country music icon Brad Paisley. This signature guitar captures the essence of Paisley’s distinctive Tele®-driven sound, offering players an instrument that embodies both style and substance.

At the heart of this Telecaster is a unique body construction featuring a lightweight paulownia core sandwiched between spruce top and back. This design not only reduces weight but also imparts an acoustic-like resonance, enhancing tonal richness and sustain. The Road Worn Silver Sparkle finish, complemented by aged hardware, gives the guitar a vintage, well-played aesthetic, reflecting the countless performances that inspired its creation.

The Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster boasts a custom pickup configuration tailored to deliver the classic Tele® tone with modern versatility. A custom-wound '64 Tele bridge pickup provides the bright, cutting tones ideal for lead play, while the Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup offers a warmer, rounder sound suitable for rhythm sections. This pairing ensures a balanced tonal palette capable of handling a wide range of musical styles.

Playability is paramount in this design, featuring an Enhanced “V”-shaped maple neck that offers a comfortable grip for chording near the nut and flattens out towards the upper frets to facilitate effortless soloing. The 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, equipped with medium-jumbo frets, allows for smooth bends and fast, precise playing, accommodating both traditional and contemporary techniques.

Aesthetically, the guitar stands out with a clear pickguard adorned with black and silver paisley patterns, allowing the sparkle finish to shine through while adding a touch of elegance. The cowboy hat insignia on the headstock serves as a subtle nod to Paisley’s country roots, adding a personal touch to the instrument’s design.

Each Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster comes with a deluxe gig bag for protection and portability, ensuring that this exceptional instrument is ready for any stage or studio setting. Whether you’re aiming to capture the Nashville sound or seeking a versatile guitar with a distinctive look and feel, this Telecaster is designed to meet the demands of discerning players.
