Fender John Osborne B Bender Telecaster Electric Guitar w/Hard Case

John Osborne Telecaster®

Grammy-winning guitarist and songwriter John Osborne has captivated country music with his distinctive artistry, earning multiple top 10 hits, seven Academy of Country Music awards and six Country Music Association awards. His masterful guitar work and inspired songwriting continue to build a devoted fanbase, solidifying his position as one of country music's most influential and prominent artists.

The B String Bender Advantage

This highly-customized Telecaster features Fender's own B string bending mechanism – the secret weapon that encourages pedal steel-like chords and lead lines by raising the B string’s pitch up to a whole step.

ALDER BODY WITH ROAD WORN® NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER FINISH IN OLYMPIC WHITE

This classic Fender® tonewood is known for resonance, punch and clarity and delivers balanced tone with excellent sustain. The Road Worn® nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Olympic White provides authentic vintage aesthetics with carefully aged wear patterns that capture decades of playing history and stage-worn character.

ROAD WORN® OIL FINISHED 1968 "C"-SHAPE MAPLE NECK WITH MAPLE CAP

The 1968 "C"-shaped maple neck is comfortable at the 1st fret and has a modest taper towards the 12th, while the smooth Road Worn oil finish makes flying up and down the neck a breeze and captures the look and feel of decades of stage and studio use.
