Joe Strummer Telecaster®
013-3900-xxx Rosewood
The legacy of Joe Strummer (1952–2002) continues to live on, grow louder and shake
up the establishment with the release of the Joe Strummer Telecaster,
modeled after some of the beat up and battle–hardened Telecaster guitars
(especially his famous ‘66 model) he wielded as leader of “the only band
that matters” – seminal Brit punk commando unit the Clash.
Designed in cooperation with the Strummer estate, the guitar has a “Revolution Rock”
engraved neckplate and a highly distressed “road–worn” treatment that emulates
the worn–to–the–wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint
that Strummer famously used. The first 1,500 of these special guitars also featured a limited
edition art customization kit with Strummer–inspired stencils, stickers and graphics
by designer Shepard Fairey.
