January 29, 1998 -- Fender announces the John Jorgenson Signature Custom Tele®, combining respect for classic tradition with flamboyant showmanship.

The guitar features a Korina body; a maple neck with Pearliod dots and a 25.5" scale length; African rosewood or an ebony on black finish fretboard with 22 Dunlop 6130 frets; double Tele humbucker pickups; volume and no-load tone controls; modified vintage Tele bridge; Custom 5-way pickup switching featuring five different combinations, each in humbucking mode; 1.688" width at the nut and Sperzel® Trimlock(TM); Machine Heads. Encased in a black Tolex® case. Comes factory-equipped with genuine Fender strings for optimum tone and performance.

The range of John Jorgenson's musical scope runs far and wide. As a session musician, John has appeared on platinum albums by Bonnie Raitt and Travis Tritt as well as Grammy winning recordings by John Prine and Mary Chapin Carpenter. He's also recorded with rock legends Bob Seger, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and country superstars Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. As a member of the 'Desert Rose Band," the group garnered five number one singles, two Grammy-nominations and numerous awards from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.

Touring and recording with Elton John since 1994, John still finds time to perform with his notorious tone partners Jerry Donahue and Will Ray in the guitar slinging HELLECASTERS. His performance at the Danny Gatton "Master of the Telecaster" Tribute Concert in January 1998 drew rave reviews.
