The legacy of Joe Strummer (1952-2002) continues to live on, grow louder and shake up the establishment with the release of the Fender 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 Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster has a highly distressed “road-worn” treatment that emulates the worn-to-the-wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint he made famous. It also features a “Revolution Rock” engraved neckplate and a limited edition art customization kit that includes Strummer-inspired stencils, stickers and graphics by designer Shepard Fairey.
