Summary
Overview
John Osborne Telecaster®
Grammy-winning guitarist and songwriter John Osborne has captivated country music with his distinctive artistry, earning multiple top 10 hits, seven Academy of Country Music awards and six Country Music Association awards. His masterful guitar work and inspired songwriting continue to build a devoted fanbase, solidifying his position as one of country music's most influential and prominent artists.
The B String Bender Advantage
This highly-customized Telecaster features Fender's own B string bending mechanism – the secret weapon that encourages pedal steel-like chords and lead lines by raising the B string’s pitch up to a whole step. Learn more about how to operate the Fender B String Bender.
Authentic John Osborne Specifications
Closely modeled after his personal guitar; this instrument delivers professional-grade performance with classic Fender craftsmanship. The alder body provides balanced tone and sustain, while the Road Worn® oil finished '68-style maple neck with maple cap fingerboard offers smooth playability and vintage aesthetics.
Road-Tested Style and Sound
The Road Worn® Olympic White finish captures the authentic wear and character of a gigging musician's trusted instrument. With custom-voiced John Osborne Telecaster pickups, custom pickguard and 3 compensated brass barrel saddles, the John Osborne signature Telecaster delivers everything from shimmering clean tones to growling overdrive.

The Road Worn® nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Olympic White provides authentic vintage aesthetics with carefully aged wear patterns that capture decades of playing history and stage-worn character.
ROAD WORN® OIL FINISHED 1968 "C"-SHAPE MAPLE NECK WITH MAPLE CAP
The 1968 "C"-shaped maple neck is comfortable at the 1st fret and has a modest taper towards the 12th, while the smooth Road Worn oil finish makes flying up and down the neck a breeze and captures the look and feel of decades of stage and studio use.
