G.E. Smith Telecaster®
011-8202-xxx Maple

As a child during the early 1960s, George Edward “G.E.” Smith got a Telecaster guitar for his birthday one year, and never looked back. Through his six hit–making years with Hall & Oates, his decade–long run as Saturday Night Live bandleader and his touring stints with Bob Dylan, Smith is widely hailed as a modern master of the Telecaster.

We’re honored to present his new signature Tele®, a special guitar that combines a ’40s–era Fender® lap steel with a ’50s–era Telecaster. Features include a large U–shaped maple neck, lap steel “oval and diamond” fingerboard inlays, custom cutoff vintage–style bridge plate and body–mounted bridge pickup.
