Fender John Osborne Signature Telecaster - Olympic White

The Fender John Osborne Signature Telecaster brings the distinctive sound and feel of one of country music's most influential guitarists to players seeking authentic Nashville tone with pedal steel expressiveness. The integrated Fender B String Bender—the secret weapon behind those signature country lead lines and chord voicings—raises the B string's pitch up to a whole step through subtle body movement, enabling seamless steel guitar-style bends without pedals or external gear. Custom-voiced Telecaster pickups deliver enhanced clarity and punch calibrated specifically for cutting through country mixes. Road Worn Olympic White finish with nitrocellulose lacquer captures decades of stage-worn character right out of the case. Whether you're a Wisconsin country player chasing authentic Nashville tone, a session guitarist needing versatile Tele voice with bending capability, or a roots musician seeking John Osborne's proven specs, this signature model delivers professional-grade performance.

The B String Bender Advantage

Fender's B string bending mechanism transforms traditional Telecaster playing by enabling whole-step B string bends through body movement—no hands required. This opens pedal steel-like chord voicings, expressive lead lines, and signature country licks impossible on standard guitars. The smooth, reliable mechanism integrates seamlessly into playing technique without interfering with traditional fretting and picking.

Authentic Osborne Specifications

Road Worn oil-finished '68-style maple neck with maple cap fingerboard delivers comfortable "C" profile and smooth playability with authentic late-'60s feel. Custom John Osborne pickguard completes the signature visual appeal.

Road-Tested Tone

Custom-voiced John Osborne Telecaster pickups deliver sparkling highs, focused mids, and tight bass response—specially designed to cut through country mixes with enhanced clarity and punch. Three compensated brass barrel saddles improve intonation and sustain.
