Description
The Fender Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe in Daphne Blue is a great fit for intermediate to advanced players who want a solid mix of vintage inspiration and modern grit. Designed in collaboration with blues phenom Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, this guitar leans heavily into bold tone and playability. The standout look and sound make it ideal for players chasing expressive lead tones with a heavier blues-rock edge.
It's loaded with a pair of custom-voiced Kingfish humbuckers in an HH setup, giving you thick, saturated tone that still cleans up well. The Adjusto-Matic bridge with anchored tailpiece adds sustain and keeps your intonation solid, especially helpful if you're dialing in bends or using alternate tunings. Under the gloss urethane finish, the alder body gives you classic Fender resonance with just the right amount of punch.
The neck is where this one really takes off. It's a large '70s-style "V" profile roasted maple neck with a 12" slab rosewood fingerboard, so it's fast, comfortable, and built for control. The feel will click right away if you like a bit more substance in the neck. Tuning stays stable thanks to vintage-style hardware, and it ships with a molded deluxe case. We've been impressed with the tone, the build, and how balanced it feels in hand; it's a pro-level instrument that's ready to gig or record out of the box.
