Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster MN, Black Sparkle

Full Description

Signature Tone With Custom Pickups

The Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster delivers a signature tone that captures the essence of country music. Designed in collaboration with Brad Paisley, this Tele is fitted with a custom-wound '64 Tele bridge pickup and a Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup. Together, they offer a perfect balance of warmth, twang, and clarity. The bridge pickup provides crisp, articulate highs with the punchy attack that Telecasters are known for, while the Twisted Tele neck pickup delivers a broader tonal range with enhanced midrange warmth. From clean, snappy licks to rich overdriven tones, this pickup combination ensures your sound remains dynamic and expressive.

Lightweight And Resonant Body

Comfort and resonance go hand in hand with this Telecaster’s carefully selected tonewoods. A lightweight paulownia core, topped and backed with spruce, creates a guitar that is both highly resonant and easy to handle. This unique wood combination enhances sustain while delivering a dynamic, responsive feel that makes every note ring out with clarity. The lightweight build ensures effortless handling, making it ideal for long studio sessions or energetic stage performances. Strumming open chords or playing intricate solos feels incredibly natural, with a balanced response that suits a wide range of playing styles.

Road Worn Finish With Custom Details

The Black Sparkle Road Worn lacquer finish gives this Telecaster a well-played, vintage-inspired aesthetic. Fender's Road Worn process creates an authentically aged look, giving the guitar the character of an instrument that has spent years on the road. The worn edges, subtle ageing, and distressed hardware add personality without compromising reliability. A standout feature is the clear pickguard with black and silver paisley detailing - a nod to Paisley’s signature style. The cowboy hat insignia on the headstock adds a special touch, making this guitar both a stage-ready workhorse and a one of a kind Tele.

Fast, Comfortable Enhanced 'V' Neck

Playability is at the heart of this Telecaster’s design, thanks to the enhanced 'V' maple neck. This shape is crafted for both rhythm and lead playing, offering a comfortable grip for chording near the nut while flattening out higher up for fluid soloing. The 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets provide a smooth, effortless playing experience, allowing for big bends, fast picking, and expressive phrasing. The ergonomic design ensures maximum comfort and control, whether laying down a steady rhythm or taking centre stage with lead lines. Paired with vintage-style hardware and a classic Tele bridge with compensated brass saddles, this guitar delivers a traditional feel with modern precision.
