6th: Muddy Waters Tele.

This is my sixth dialectal journal.

The Fender Muddy Waters Artist Series Telecaster Electric Guitar embodies the classic look and tone of Muddy's Tele and is now available in this new standard production artist model. The essential specs and spirit of Waters' electric guitar are lovingly re-created, and its tone is as big and unique as its namesake's. Features include an ash '50s Tele body, a maple '62 Custom Tele neck with rosewood fretboard, vintage-style machine heads, 2 U.S. special vintage pickups, 3-way switching, and an American Vintage '52 Tele bridge with brass saddles. Like Muddy's guitar, it has 1-10 Fender amp knobs and Muddy's signature engraved on the neckplate.

The man who started it all, from Hendrix to Clapton, Muddy Waters has been an influence on all of them. A renown blues player, even the Rolling Stones are influenced by him, their name is one of his songs, Rollin' Stone. It would be a true honor to touch one of these Mexican made tele's.
