Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (headquarters: California, USA; CEO: Edward "Bud" Cole, hereinafter FMIC) has announced the 'Limited Edition Brian Fallon '59 Telecaster® Custom' from the Fender Custom Shop, a limited-edition model honoring Brian Fallon, one of rock's most iconic songwriters. Reflecting the versatility of his playing style, this guitar embodies Brian's deep affinity for the Telecaster, achieving a perfect balance of unadorned, powerful resonance and sweet, delicate tones.
Known as the frontman of The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon rose to prominence with the highly acclaimed album 'The '59 Sound' in 2008. Influenced by Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, and the introspective side of punk rock, his music, which blends rhythmic guitar work with nostalgic lyrics, has built a dedicated and long-lasting fan base. Evoking 'The '59 Sound,' a title also present in his representative works, the 'Limited Edition Brian Fallon '59 Telecaster® Custom' recreates the guitar Brian used on tour in the early days of The Gaslight Anthem and the instrument he has treasured throughout his career.
Brian Fallon commented: "The switch, the volume, the tone. That's all there is, so it's up to you how you use it. The most important thing is to make the most of what you can do, and I think this guitar is exactly for that. If you need a hammer, it's a hammer, something everyone needs. You can't build a house without it."
Developed in close collaboration with the Fender Custom Shop team, the 'Limited Edition Brian Fallon '59 Telecaster® Custom' is based on Brian's original guitar and features many specifications that faithfully reflect the passionate and creative spirit that has animated his brilliant career. The double-bound two-piece alder body is finished in a striking Journeyman Relic® black lacquer, paired with a '60s-style oval “C” shape maple neck and a flat-laminate dark AAA rosewood fingerboard. Equipped with Righteous Sound 'Fourth Man' pickups and Dual Stack HS Tele® wiring, the blend of the bridge pickup's midrange growl and the warm, clear tone of the split-coil neck pickup produces a shimmering, balanced middle position tone.
Chase Paul, Director of Product Development at Fender Custom Shop, stated: "Brian's honest and unadorned songwriting has propelled him to become one of the most influential and amazing artists of recent decades. Through our collaboration with Brian, by faithfully recreating every detail of his beloved instrument, we were able to deliver a guitar to fans that supports and drives his performance."
'Limited Edition Brian Fallon '59 Telecaster® Custom' offers premium specifications that stand out among the numerous vintage features incorporated, such as a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, 21 vintage upgraded (45085) frets, a three-way switch, a '63 Telecaster® bridge with RSD brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, and American Vintage '59–'64 wing string trees.
