The Classic
“In designing this model, I didn’t try to reinvent the wheel, because I have tremendous respect for the Fender Telecaster. I just tried to make it more player friendly.
I kept the essential original features, and made subtle changes to the shape of the horn, the neck angle, and the headstock angle. Of course, The Classic has my unique inset neck joint so it can be played all the way up the fretboard without changing your hand position.”
