The Fender John Osborne Telecaster pays tribute to that iconic axe, right down to the custom pickguard and battle-scarred Olympic White nitro lacquer coat. This alder-bodied Tele’s tone draws from a set of custom-voiced pickups, replicating the biting sound of John’s own 6-string with cutting clarity, a tight low-end focus, and ideal string-to-string balance. Flip the guitar around to be greeted by the Fender John Osborne Tele’s star feature — a rock-solid B-bender system that allows you to achieve full-step pedal steel-style swells simply by pulling down on your strap. You also get a top-shelf set of Fender hardware to ensure arena-ready reliability, including an ashtray bridge with compensated brass saddles and late-1960s-accurate F-stamped tuning machines. A Road Worn, oil-finished 1968 C-shaped maple neck completes the package with a slick feel on your fingers, sporting a vintage-accurate maple cap, an old-school 7.25-inch radius, and a set of jumbo-sized frets for effortless bends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFender John Osborne Telecaster at a Glance:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"feature-bullets-list\" id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlder body with Road Worn® Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish in Olympic White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad Worn® Oil Finished 1968 \"C\"-shape Maple Neck with Maple Cap Fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Voiced John Osborne Telecaster Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender B String Bender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom John Osborne pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Vintage-Style Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eJohn Osborne: carrying the torch of classic country authenticity\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one-half of the Brothers Osborne, John Osborne has cemented himself as one of modern country music’s brightest guitarists. Since 2012, John and his brother TJ have secured a string of Billboard hits, seven Academy of Country Music awards, and a whopping 14 Grammy nominations with a win for the Best Country\/Duo Group Performance in 2025 for their song “Break Mine.” Along the way, John found his signature voice by combining the perfectly worn-in neck of his treasured ’68 Tele with a B-bender-equipped body. The Fender John Osborne Telecaster emulates every element of that iconic instrument, right down to the custom pickguard design made by one of John’s trusted luthiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eReplicate the soaring sound of a pedal steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s no standard knob located behind the Fender John Osborne Tele’s bridge — it’s an expressive B-bender mechanism, allowing you to bend the pitch of the B string simply by pulling down on your strap. This system is a favorite of Music Experience's country pickers for its ability to mimic the high, lonesome wail of a pedal steel, adding a vocal-like quality to your leads or a touch of twangy flair to your rhythms. What’s more, the Fender John Osborne Telecaster’s rear panel is crafted from clear material to put the B-bender’s engineering excellence on full display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTwang with the best of them\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bit of this Tele has been precisely modded to fit John Osborne’s exacting requirements, from the signature pickguard to the oil-finished, 1968 C-shaped maple neck. Of course, that includes a set of custom-voiced single-coils, complete with a distinctly cover-free neck pickup. Under the hood, these classic Tele pickups are tweaked by John to sing with enhanced clarity and bite, blending chiming highs with a punchy midrange and a tight bass response. The result? A set of pickups that delivers the most classic Tele tones you could ever ask for while simultaneously boasting a subtly modernized character that shines through any mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Fender Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrammy-winning guitarist and songwriter John Osborne has captivated country music with his distinctive artistry, earning multiple top 10 hits, seven Academy of Country Music awards and six Country Music Association awards.
