Fender announces the addition of Black and Shoreline Gold to the Foo Fighters lead guitarist’s signature model, the Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster® Deluxe guitar. Eminently affordable and modeled closely on Shiflett’s favorite ’72 Tele Deluxe…
Chris Shiflett has his feet firmly planted in two worlds–with impeccable punk/hard rock credentials as longtime guitarist in the Foo Fighters, and with an authentic love for country, as heard in side project Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants. His abiding love for the Telecaster® guitar and for huge humbucking sound now comes together in one kickass new instrument with his name on it–the Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe.
Eminently affordable and modeled closely on Shiflett’s favorite ’72 Tele® Deluxe guitar, it features a roaring pair of new custom-designed high-output humbucking pickups, a 12″-radius rosewood fingerboard for easy bends with low action, custom-stenciled hard-shell case, and Shiflett’s signature on the headstock. Tour bus, platinum records and the adulation of millions not included.
