Fender American James Burton Signature Telecaster MN Blue Paisley Flames

Introducing the Fender American James Burton Signature Telecaster MN, with Blue Paisley Flames finish, a guitar that delivers fiery tones with style and versatility. This guitar's namesake has a fascinating history - James Burton, an original Telecaster master, influenced generations of rock guitar royalty with his perfectly phrased late-'50s/early-'60s Tele work with Ricky Nelson. His later stints with Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, and many others only furthered his revered elder-statesman status. This made him the perfect candidate for the first ever signature Telecaster model.

This James Burton Signature Telecaster is just as fiery as his original signature model, with three pickups, special switching, gold hardware, gorgeous paisley-flame finish, and plenty of player-centric features. The body is made of basswood, which contributes to a defined sound that cuts through the mix well, with nice warmth and midrange and a slightly growling tone. The vintage-style '60s U-shaped neck profile 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 equally fiery tone from its three specially voiced single-coil pickups, all designed in accordance with Burton’s specifications. It features a five-way "Strat-o-Tele" switching system that delivers the neck pickup alone, the bridge pickup alone, and three different parallel dual-pickup combinations. Engaging the S-1 switch introduces series circuitry for pickup switch positions two and four, providing even more tonal versatility.

The James Burton Telecaster features a gold-plated American Vintage string-through-body hardtail Stratocaster bridge with six saddles for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability. The blue paisley flame finish is stunning and adds to the instrument's visual appeal. The guitar's gold hardware complements the finish, creating a harmonious and sophisticated look.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we love the Fender American James Burton Signature Telecaster MN Blue Paisley Flames for its ability to produce a range of tones suitable for various genres. The vintage-style hardware and unique switching options make this guitar a joy to play. The stunning blue paisley flame finish is the icing on the cake, making this instrument a visual and sonic masterpiece.
