The Details
The 1998 Fender Jerry Donahue Telecaster is one of the most sought-after signature Telecasters produced by Fender Japan. Designed in collaboration with celebrated guitarist Jerry Donahue, this model retains the unmistakable snap and clarity of a traditional Tele while expanding its tonal palette through its unique wiring and pickup configuration, making it equally at home with country, blues, rock and beyond.
Built in Japan during an era celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, it features a comfortable maple neck, classic Tele bridge assembly and a striking transparent red finish that allows the wood grain to subtly show through. The result is an instrument that feels every bit as inspiring as it looks.
As shown in the photographs, this guitar displays honest signs of use, including a noticeable finish chip on the rear of the body along with light cosmetic wear consistent with a well-played instrument of its age. These marks are purely cosmetic and reflect a guitar that has been enjoyed rather than hidden away. A superb choice for players and collectors seeking a distinctive Japanese Fender with outstanding versatility and enduring character.
