Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Designed for modern high-performance versatility, the Fender Richie Kotzen Telecaster combines an ash body topped with a flame maple laminate in a high-gloss Brown Sunburst finish. Weighing 8 lbs 8 oz, it features a robust Large "C" maple neck paired with a 12" radius maple fingerboard, 22 jumbo frets, and eye-catching abalone dot inlays across a standard 25.5" scale length. Its specialized DiMarzio pickup configuration couples a Twang King neck single-coil with a Chopper T bridge humbucker, wired through a custom series/parallel rotary switch instead of a traditional tone control for expanded tonal options. Outfitted with striking gold hardware, a 6-saddle string-through-body bridge, and Gotoh tuning machines, it comes with a hardshell case.
