The Upper Bout
Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster
Designed in cooperation with the Strummer estate, the Joe Strummer electric guitar has a highly distressed "road-worn" treatment that duplicates the original's worn-to-the-wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint. It also features a "Revolution Rock" engraved neckplate. Strummer was, of course, the Clash's articulate and fiery co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead singer; he later founded, recorded and toured with the Mescaleros. All his life, he vigorously championed individuality, self-expression and change--tenets often reflected in the constantly altered look of his favorite instrument--his Telecaster (currently on display in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland), an otherwise standard '60s-era model with all the original parts and specifications.
The legacy of Joe Strummer (1952-2002) continues to live on, grow louder and shake up the establishment with the Joe Strummer Telecaster, modeled after the beat up and battle-hardened '66 Tele he wielded as leader of "the only band that matters"--seminal Brit punk commando unit the Clash.
