Presenting the Fender Richie Kotzen Signature Series Telecaster, with Maple Fingerboard, in Brown Sunburst.
Versatile rock guitarist Richie Kotzen has long wowed audiences with his impeccable chops and deft Telecaster artistry. His prolific career spans from stints in Poison and Mr. Big, to a successful career as a solo artist and front man of The Winery Dogs, to his recent collaboration with Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith in the group Smith/Kotzen.
Known for his passionate and captivating playing style, Richie has influenced countless guitar players along the way.
Once available only in Japan, the elegant Richie Kotzen Signature Telecaster guitar is now available worldwide, with features including a beautiful flame maple top on a comfortably contoured ash body, gold hardware and a distinctive combination of DiMarzio® pickups.
Key Features of the Richie Kotzen Tele:
- Contoured ash body with bound flame maple top
- Maple neck with large “C” profile
- Maple fingerboard with 12” radius, 22 jumbo frets and abalone inlays
- DiMarzio® DP173 Twang King™ neck pickup and DP384 Chopper T™ bridge pickup
- Three-way pickup selector switch and rotary series/parallel switch (no tone control)
- Gold through-body Telecaster bridge
FLAME MAPLE TOP: This Telecaster features the notably elegant high-end design element of a beautifully figured flame maple top.
GOLD HARDWARE: Gold hardware imparts an especially elegant gilded look to this instrument—a pleasingly high-end appearance that isn’t overdone or ostentatious, but rather just the right touch of refinement.
LARGE "C" NECK PROFILE: The Richie Kotzen Telecaster features a modern neck with a thicker “C” profile (the shape of the neck in cross section), and a maple fingerboard with a 12” radius and 22 jumbo frets.
DIMARZIO PICKUPS: The supercharged sound of the Richie Kotzen Telecaster comes from its high-performance pickup configuration, consisting of DiMarzio® DP173 Twang King™ (neck) and DP384 Chopper T™ (bridge) single-coil pickups.
ROTARY SERIES/PARALLEL SWITCH: The Richie Kotzen Telecaster's special series-parallel rotary switch delivers versatile tonality from both pickups.
