What we say:

Richie Kotzen, top shredder for such hard rocking acts as Mr Big and the Winery Dogs, has long been honoured by Fender with this powerful and fabulous signature model telecaster.

This high performance guitar has a number of alterations made to suit Mr Kotzen. First of all the flame maple topped Ash body is bound, finished in three tone sunburst and contoured on the front and back for comfort. This is then fitted to a maple neck with jumbo frets and a 12"radius for unstoppable shredding. Hardware wise, the pickups are both DiMarzio units: a Chopper in the bridge and a Twang King in the neck. There are Gotoh tuners too for perfectly precise tuning and all of the hardware is gold. In short, this guitar is modern yet traditional, capable of vintage twang and hot modern lead and looks flashy yet subtle. It, like Kotzen himself, is in a class of it's own.
