Fender Buck Owens Telecaster

Serial Number: MX25060131 Weight: 7 lbs 11 oz

The Buck Starts Here

From his pioneering role in defining the Bakersfield sound of the 1950s to his tenure presenting Hee Haw with fellow country legend Roy Clark, Buck Owens’ immeasurable influence on country music resonates to this day. Take the spirit of his sound into your hands with the Fender Limited-edition Buck Owens Telecaster — an instrument that pays loving tribute to his signature red, silver, and blue solidbody. This guitar begins with a chunky, late-’50s, C-profile, 1-piece maple neck, topped with a chord-friendly, old-school 7.25-inch radius, providing slick enough performance to catch a tiger by the tail. However, this guitar’s main draw is its loud, proud, and sparkled-out alder body, outfitted with charming double binding. And as if this finish wasn’t eye-catching enough, the Buck Owens Telecaster’s vibrant vibe is topped off with gleaming gold hardware, from the 3-saddle bridge to the control plate to the mirrored pickguard and beyond. Two Custom Buck Owens single-coil pickups seal the deal with a twang-laden tone that harkens right back to the streets of Bakersfield. It all adds up to a truly historic and eminently collectible instrument that will thrill any guitarist bold enough to pull off its unabashedly extravagant appearance. Our advice? Just act naturally.

Based on Buck’s most iconic Tele

Nowhere was Buck’s larger-than-life personality more apparent than in his choice of instruments, with his trusty Telecasters standing foremost among them. But as much as we sing the praises of the ever-utilitarian Telecaster, a simple blonde or sunburst wouldn’t do for a star like Buck once he hit the big time! Thus, the Fender Limited-edition Buck Owens Telecaster emulates what’s arguably his most iconic Telecaster, with patriotic red, silver, and blue stripes that shine with a stunning sparkle. This finish, interrupted only by the maple neck and crisp double binding, even makes an appearance on the guitar’s headstock, crowned with Buck’s signature.

Bring back the Bakersfield sound

The Bakersfield sound of the 1950s and ’60s was pivotal in the development of country music, with Buck Owens and the Buckaroos leading the charge with twin Telecasters in tow. In fact, musicians like Buck and the Buckaroos are one of the main reasons why the Telecaster is so firmly cemented in the foundation of country music today. So it’s only fitting that the Fender Limited-edition Buck Owens Telecaster pays sonic tribute to those twangy tones that started it all, sporting two Custom Buck Owens single-coil pickups. Equipped with Alnico III in the bridge position and Alnico II in the neck position, this Tele twangs with the best of them, taking on everything from fiery chicken pickin’ to singing pedal-steel-style licks without breaking a sweat.

High-class hardware appointments

Stylish and functional all at once, the Fender Limited-edition Buck Owens Telecaster boasts a stunning set of gold hardware to complement its flamboyant finish. A classic 3-saddle Telecaster bridge starts it off with a trio of uncompensated saddles that ensure the utmost vintage tonal authenticity. On the opposite end, you get vintage-style slot-in Fender tuners that make for quick and efficient string changes. Finally, it’s all finished off with a 1-ply mirrored gold pickguard that’s sure to enrapture the eyes of any audience.
