Fender Telecaster 50th Anniversary Edition

This is an alphabetized list of musicians who have made notable use of the Fender Telecaster, Broadcaster or Esquire in live performances or studio recordings. Because of the great popularity of this model, musicians are listed here only if their use of this instrument was especially significant—that is, they are players with long careers who have a history of faithful Telecaster use, or the particular guitar they used was unique or of historical importance, or their use of the Telecaster contributed significantly to the popularization of the instrument.

Esquire players are here listed alongside players of the more famous Telecaster, since Fender regards it as part of the "family of Telecaster guitars".[1] While the one-pickup Esquire has been marketed as a separate model from the two-pickup Telecaster (which was originally named the Broadcaster) since its reintroduction in 1951, the Esquire and Telecaster are so intimately linked in their development and history, and so similar in design and tonal characteristics, that they are considered variations of the same model.

A-E

  • Syd Barrett (1946–2006), a psychedelic icon and the original guitarist and lead singer for Pink Floyd, used a unique mirror-disk Esquire.[2]
  • Phil Baugh (1936-1990), a hot country guitarist whose song "Country Guitar" with Verne Stovall, recorded on his Telecaster, was a hit in 1964 and earned him numerous awards. He worked as a popular session guitarist in Nashville from 1975 until his death in 1990. [3][4]
  • Jeff Beck (born 1944) Emerging in the mid 1960s with The Yardbirds, Beck proved that a ragged Fender Esquire could moan like a fuzzed-out violin. His lines in “Heart Full of Soul” and “Evil Hearted You” defined psychedelic guitar.[5]
  • Ed Bickert (born 1932) is a premier jazz player who started playing a Telecaster when his regular guitar was in the shop, and he has used it for the rest of his career.[6]
  • Frank Black (born 1965) of the Pixies has been a long-time Tele enthusiast.[7]
  • Jimmy Bryant (1925–1980), a prolific session musician, was given one of the first Broadcasters by Fender engineer George Fullerton. Fullerton compared this gift to "starting a prairie fire," and said that " pretty soon we couldn't make enough of those guitars."[8]
  • Roy Buchanan (1939–1988), a blues/rock musician whose playing inspired the likes of Jeff Beck, earning him the title "The Guitarist's Guitarist's Guitarist," was a faithful Tele man during his solo career.[9]
  • James Burton (born 1939) has played a Telecaster since he was 13, and he has influenced many other guitarists. He was the most visible player of the Tele in the late '50s, appearing on television with Ricky Nelson almost every week on the Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet.[10] His most famous guitar is the Paisley Red Tele, which he first used while performing with Elvis Presley.[11] He has also played with Gram Parsons and Merle Haggard. As a long-time Tele player, he wrote a foreword to A. R. Duchossoir's book detailing the history of the guitar.[12]
  • Mike Campbell (born 1950), best known for his work with Tom Petty, has stated that his 1950 Broadcaster has been one of his live mainstay guitars since the beginning of the Heartbreakers. On their first and second albums, he recorded most of his solos & rhythm parts on songs such as "American Girl", "Breakdown", and "I Need to Know" using his Broadcaster exclusively. Mike also played an early-'70s Telecaster with two humbuckers and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece nicknamed "Big Red".[13]
  • Albert Collins (1932–1993) (AKA "The Master of the Telecaster") created his original blues sound using minor open tunings and a capo placed high up on the neck.[14] Fender offers an Albert Collins Signature Telecaster based on his '66 model, which features a humbucker in the neck position.
  • Hugh Cornwell (born 1949) one of the founding members of the Stranglers is a long-standing Tele player.[15]
  • Graham Coxon (born 1969) has relied on the Telecaster for the majority of his career, achieving a distinctive sound underlined by an inventive use of effects that played an integral part in Blur's success during the 1990s. He uses a blonde 1968 Telecaster with a Gibson PAF Pickup, a 1960 Lake Placid blue Telecaster Relic, and a 1972 Telecaster Deluxe, while his time with Blur saw him use a reissue 1952 blonde Telecaster.[16]
  • Steve Cropper (born 1941) creates rhythm work known to be spare and crisp using the back pickup of the Telecaster, playing with Stax session band Booker T. & the MGs, who backed such stars as Otis Redding and Sam & Dave.[17]
  • Denny Dias of Steely Dan presaged the 1970s trend for dual-humbucker Teles by replacing both of the single coils in his guitar with humbuckers and installing a Stratocaster-style bridge.[18]
  • Jerry Donahue (born 1946) of Fairport Convention released a solo album in 1986 called Telecasting and was a member of the Telecaster trio called the Hellecasters.[19]
  • Bob Dylan (born 1941) owned a black-and-white 1958 Telecaster which became one of his first electric guitars, shaping his controversial electric sound. He used this guitar on his epic 1966 tour of Australia and Europe.[20]

F-J

  • Bill Frisell (born 1951), a jazz guitar player. He plays several guitars but the Telecaster is indissociable of the Frisell sounds (with violing effects with his sound pedal).[21]
Bill Frisell
  • Danny Gatton (1945–1994) played a customized '53 Tele whose specifications were replicated by Fender for his Signature model, including unique angled bridge saddles for improved intonation of the classic 3-saddle bridge, and use of Joe Barden pickups.[22]
  • Vince Gill (born 1957), who replaced fellow Tele-player Albert Lee in Rodney Crowell's backing band, uses a '53 Telecaster as his primary stage guitar.[23]
  • David Gilmour (born 1946) has used a Telecaster and Esquire from Fender in addition to his regularly used Fender Stratocaster. His beat-up looking Esquire was used on his 1978 self-titled solo album on backing tracks,[24] the studio version of "Run Like Hell" from The Wall,[25] and recently on Paul McCartney's Run Devil Run album. It was also pictured on the back of his 1984 solo album About Face.[24]He used a Telecaster for some early recordings, and used a sunburst Telecaster for all of the guitar solos (both live and in studio) on the track "Dogs" from Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.[26] He used a 1952 reissue yellow Telecaster on live performances of "Run Like Hell" on the live albums and home videos Delicate Sound of Thunder and P*U*L*S*E,[27][28] as well as on performances of "Astronomy Domine" (as originally written and performed by Esquire player Syd Barrett -- see above) on the European leg of the tour in support of The Division Bell[28]. A recording of the song was included on P*U*L*S*E.
  • Ted Greene (1946–2005), a Southern California guitarist, helped Fender design an accurate '52 Telecaster vintage reissue (their first such reissue) by referencing his extensive collection of old Telecasters, Broadcasters and Nocasters. Ted was most famous as being one of the top jazz guitar instructors on the west coast. He was also the author of several instructional books "Chord Chemistry," "Modern Chord Progressions," and Single Note Soloing Volumes 1 and 2."[29]
  • Jonny Greenwood (born 1971) of Radiohead has made extensive use of the Telecaster since the '90s. He exclusively uses the Telecaster Plus model with a humbucker in the bridge position and a cut off button. [30]
  • Stuart Garrard (Stu G)- Guitarist of the british Rock Band Delirious?. Used to claim that he had the oldest age but youngest head. Now plays golf well - if a little obsessively - which kind of puts the claim to youthfulness to bed. Plays lead guitars and writes songs. Adds full-on flavour and texture to the sound with some truly inspired sounds. He plays the Stratocaster, Telecaster and the '72 Deluxe.
  • Merle Haggard (born 1937) - revoluntionized country music with his twangy telecaster sound, along with Buck Owens and Roy Nichols.[31]
  • George Harrison (1943–2001) of The Beatles received a prototype Rosewood Telecaster as a planned gift from Fender in 1968. Fender selected the better of two prototypes built, flew it to England in its own personal seat along with a courier, and hand-delivered the guitar to Apple offices in December 1968. Harrison used this guitar during The Beatles famous 'Get Back Sessions' as well as on the Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be and 1969's Abbey Road. Of equal notability, Harrison used the rosewood Tele for the Beatles' last public performance in 1969, famously referred to as 'the Rooftop concert'. Harrison subsequently gave this instrument to Delaney Bramlett.[22]
  • PJ Harvey (born 1969) used to play a borrowed 1967 Telecaster (from friend John Parish) during her early career. In a 1995 interview to Guitar Player, she declared: "John's Telecaster is closer to my heart. It's on all my records — I used to nick it all the time."[32] Later, in 2000, when she received the Mercury Music Prize, she bought her own 60s Telecaster.
  • Robyn Hitchcock (born 1953) has used a Telecaster since 1979 for his distinctive English electric psychedelic sound, and said that it "... chose itself for me as my favourite electric guitar, because so many of my favourite guitar riffs were played on it."[33]
  • Steve Howe (born 1947) has used a 1955 Telecaster, customized with a different toggle switch and a humbucker in the neck position for the first time in the entire 1974 YES album "Relayer", and after that frequently uses his Telecaster in various live performances and in several studio recordings.[34]
  • Chrissie Hynde (born 1951) has often used her blue Telecaster with the The Pretenders, and it was pictured on the jacket of their album Get Close.[35]
  • Waylon Jennings (1937–2002), a country legend, played a 1953 Telecaster that was covered with white-and-black leather carved in an oak leaf and floral motif. He has been honored by Fender with a Waylon Jennings Tribute Telecaster.[36]
  • Wilko Johnson (born John Wilkinson, 12 July 1947, Canvey Island, Essex), a British R&B and Pub Rock legend, exponent of 'machine gun' rhythm/lead style that has inspired punk and speed metal players alike. He has played the same black tele with red pickguard for years as founder member of Dr Feelgood and subsequently with Ian Dury's Blockheads as well as his own bands. "The punk guitarist's punk guitarist was Wilko Johnson of Dr Feelgood"[37]
  • John 5 (born 1971) is a heavy metal/country guitarist who has played with Marilyn Manson and who is known for his proficiency at shredding. Fender now produces a J5 Signature Telecaster which John 5 co-designed.[38]

K-P

  • Bill Kirchen (born 1947), longtime Telecaster devotee who played in Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen during the 1970s and continues to drive his well-abused Tele to the limits of the rockabilly sound.[39] Known for his barnstorming live licks and stylisitic diversity, Kirchen's first Telecaster came to him in a 1967 even trade with a stranger he met on bus, Kirchen exchanging his own Gibson SG in the deal[40]
  • Albert Lee (born 1943), whose instrumental work has influenced many other guitarists, has played a Telecaster since 1963.[19] As a long-time Tele player, he wrote a foreword to A. R. Duchossoir's book detailing the history of the guitar.[41]
  • Alex Lifeson (born 1953), the guitarist of Rush, frequently uses the Telecaster in live performances and in studio recordings.[42]

It features 2 "stacked" and one mini humbucker, and an additional tone control with series/parallel switch for the middle pickup.
  • Roy Nichols (1932–2001) was a guitarist in Merle Haggard's group The Strangers, and famously used the "chicken pickin'" technique for which the Telecaster is so well suited. Fittingly, an image of a Telecaster is engraved on his tombstone.[44]
  • Mike Oldfield (born 1953), aged 16, got a 66 blonde Telecaster which used to belong to Marc Bolan.[45] He performed all the guitar parts of his breakthrough album Tubular Bells with this guitar, and most parts of his next albums.
  • Buck Owens (1929–2006), along with Don Rich and their custom sparkle-finish Telecasters, helped create the distinctive Bakersfield sound of country music in the early 1960s.[46] Owens' personal Telecaster was gold with a red, white, and blue pickguard, reminicesant of his famous American Flag style Acoustic guitar.
  • Jimmy Page (born 1944), though more known for his use of the Gibson Les Paul, used a Telecaster in his earlier work with The Yardbirds, on Led Zeppelin's first three albums, as well as on Stairway to Heaven, one of Led Zeppelin's most famous tracks.[47]
