Fender has teamed up with the R&B songwriter/producer Raphael Saadiq for a signature Telecaster – and Saadiq has reached out to his good friend and blues guitar genius Eric Gales to help him demo it.
The Raphael Saadiq Telecaster is a limited edition, California-built doozy that comes straight out of the Big F’s Corona facility with a hot Dark Red Metallic finish, a black painted headstock, and a single-ply acrylic pickguard custom tooled with red and dark yellow pattern that matches what Saadiq was wearing on the cover to his 2002 debut album, Instant Vintage.
