Richie Kotzen Signature Telecaster Review

Richie Kotzen Telecasters in both Surf Green and Braun Sunburst

The Fender Kotzen Richie Kotzen Signature series Telecaster features a light ash body with quilted maple cap, a maple neck with satin finish, 22 jumbo size frets, 1x Di Marzio Twang King in the neck position and 1x Di Marzio Chopper T pick-up at the bridge, Gotoh Pearl Peg Head tuners, gold hardware. The guitar is Japanese made rather than being a Fender USA instrument however if anything the quality is better and the price much more realistic than many USA signature editions

Prices: Range from £900 to £1250 (i.e. $1499 +)

There is a pickup phase knob that lets you choose FAT or bright/out of phase tones. You can also use both pickups together. This is a versatile guitar capable of playing anything from metal to jazz and certainly far more flexible than your standard issue Fender Telecaster. The phase control, custom pickups and fat neck have made it enormously popular with many guitarists and the guitar is highly rated on websites such as Harmony Central.

Colours: Braun Sunburst, Surf Green

Richie Kotzen Pickups - Di Marzio Twang King in the neck position and 1x Di Marzio Chopper T pick-up at the bridge
