Description
An original Telecaster master 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 Telecaster model, and today's James Burton Telecaster is as fiery as ever, with three pickups, special switching, gold hardware, gorgeous paisley-flame finish and more. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
