2016 FENDER TELECASTER ‘JAMES BURTON’ SIGNATURE IN RED PAISLEY FLAME FINISH
An original Telecaster Masters’ Axe still going strong.
James Burton influenced generations of rock guitar royalty with his perfectly phrased late−'50s early−'60s Tele® work with Ricky Nelson, and his later stints with Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello and many others only furthered his revered elder-statesman status. His was the first signature Fender Telecaster model, and today's James Burton Telecaster is as fiery as ever, with three pickups, special switching, gold hardware, gorgeous paisley-flame finishes and more.
The 2016 Fender James Burton Signature Telecaster at a glance:
- Basswood body contributes to a defined sound that cuts through a mix well, with nice warmth and midrange and even a slightly growling tone
- ’60s "U" neck profile feels fuller to the fretting hand with more mass for improved tone and sustain
- Three specially voiced single-coil pickups in accordance with JB’s specifications
- Five way "Strat-o-Tele" switching that delivers the neck pickup alone, the bridge pickup alone, and three different parallel dual-pickup combinations
- Hard-tail string-through-body Stratocaster Bridge for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability
- S-1 switch on the James Burton Telecaster introduces series circuitry for pickup switch positions two and four.
- Comes with Original Fender Vintage Tweed Hardshell Case

description
A basswood body contributes to a defined sound that cuts through a mix well, with nice warmth and midrange and even a slightly growling tone. The James Burton Telecaster features a vintage-style ’60s "U" neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) that feels fuller to the fretting hand than more modern neck profiles, with a little more mass for improved tone and sustain.
This fiery signature Telecaster produces fiery tone from its three single-coil pickups, all specially voiced in accordance with Burton’s specifications. As a Telecaster with three pickups rather than the traditional two, this model features special five way "Strat-o-Tele" switching that delivers the neck pickup alone, the bridge pickup alone, and three different parallel dual-pickup combinations.
For even more tonal versatility, engaging the S-1 switch on the James Burton Telecaster introduces series circuitry for pickup switch positions two and four. For rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, the James Burton Telecaster features a gold-plated American Vintage string-through-body hard-tail Stratocaster bridge with six saddles.
