Blur guitarist Coxon Fender Tele will be available only in Europe
(Dave Molter | Posted 2011-08-01)
Blur guitarist Graham Coxon emerged from the 1990s Britpop movement as one of the U.K.’s most acclaimed and distinctive modern guitarists. Through his hit-filled career with Blur and a highly renowned solo career, his sonic paintbrush of choice is most often a Telecaster guitar, and Fender now honors him with the signature Graham Coxon Telecaster.
Sorry, rest of the world, but the guitar is available only in Europe.
Features include a Blonde finish ash body, C-shaped maple neck with gloss urethane finish, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5” radius and 21 medium jumbo frets, Seymour Duncan® ’59 SH-1 humbucking neck pickup with black bezel, vintage-style single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup, three-position switch with “top hat” tip, knurled chrome knobs on 375k volume and tone pots that contribute to brighter sound from both pickups, tortoiseshell pickguard, vintage-style Telecaster bridge with three threaded steel saddles, chrome hardware, vintage-style tuners, ’70s-style headstock decal and Coxon’s signature on the back of the headstock.
Fender has not yet released pricing.
