Channel the raw, visceral energy of blues legend Albert Collins with the Fender Custom Shop Albert Collins Signature Telecaster. This exacting recreation captures every nuance of Collins' iconic 1966 "Telecaster Deluxe" that helped forge his signature razor-sharp tone. From its double-bound swamp ash body to its custom Seymour Duncan and Fender pickups, this Tele puts Collins' unmistakable voice in your hands.

A Lovingly Crafted Tribute to a Guitar Icon

Every element of the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster has been meticulously reproduced by the artisans at the Fender Custom Shop. The double-bound swamp ash body construction, '60s-era maple neck profile and maple fingerboard with vintage-tall frets recreate the feel and resonance of Collins' original. Vintage-style hardware including a strings-through-body bridge further evokes the instrument's vintage vibe. You'll swear you're playing the Ice Man's actual guitar.

Custom Pickups Deliver Albert's Signature Bite

At the heart of Collins' tone is a potent mix of grit and articulation. The Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker at the neck provides thick, vocal midrange grind that cuts through any mix. It's balanced by the Custom Shop Texas Special bridge pickup, which yields searing Telecaster twang with plenty of percussive attack and definition. Position the 3-way selector in the middle to combine both pickups for an authoritative fusion of warmth and bite.

Every Detail Honors a Blues Trailblazer

From its knurled flat-top knobs to its "top hat" switch tip, the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster is a faithful recreation down to the last detail. The 3-ply white pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware exude classic Fender style. Best of all, each guitar comes with premium accessories including a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity—ensuring this modern classic will be cherished for years to come.

Unleash Your Inner Ice Man

Whether you're a die-hard blues fanatic or simply appreciate finely crafted guitars, the Albert Collins Signature Telecaster deserves a place in your collection. With its custom electronics and meticulous construction, it gives you an authentic connection to one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century.
