Art of Guitar is thrilled to introduce the Fender Custom Shop's Limited Edition Waylon Jennings Telecaster Relic, a masterful creation by David Brown. Secure yours now with an upfront deposit.

Waylon Jennings is an icon not just as the familiar voice behind "The Good Ol' Boys" from the Dukes of Hazzard series but as a force in music. From his early days playing bass for Buddy Holly to his legendary collaborations with The Highwaymen, Jennings has shaped a unique musical narrative. Often, by his side, was his cherished leather-adorned 1954 Telecaster.

Working closely with the Jennings family, David Brown has masterfully captured the essence of Waylon’s beloved Telecaster, recreating every nuance from years of dedication. The 2-piece Ash body is adorned with a historically-accurate Butterscotch Blonde finish, which is then elegantly draped with a hand-crafted leather cover. The guitar also boasts a one-piece quartersawn Maple neck in a comfortable 10/56 "V" shape. Authentic early-‘50s Telecaster vibes are ensured with the Custom Shop Hand-Wound ‘50/’51 Blackguard pickups, producing sharp, clear highs and a balanced midrange and bass.
