Fender Unveils the Jack White Collection
A Radically Customised Tele, a Signature Acoustasonic, and a Very Special Tube Amp
Paying Homage to the Legendary Musician's Unique Sound and Style
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) has unveiled the Jack White Collection, a line of guitars and amplifiers meticulously crafted to embody the legendary musician's distinctive sound and style.
The collection features three instruments: a Telecaster, an Acoustasonic Player Telecaster, and a tube amplifier. Each piece has been meticulously designed in collaboration with White to reflect his unique approach to music.
The Telecaster: A Work of Art
The Jack White Telecaster is a radical departure from the classic model, featuring a sleek black finish, a custom-designed pickup configuration, and a unique body shape. The guitar's distinctive sound is achieved through a combination of a Seymour Duncan '59 pickup in the neck position and a custom-wound humbucker in the bridge position.
The body of the guitar has been modified to White's specifications, with a contoured back and a unique cutaway that provides enhanced playing comfort.
The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster: A Hybrid Masterpiece
The Jack White Acoustasonic Player Telecaster combines the classic Telecaster design with the versatility of an acoustic guitar. The guitar features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a unique pickup system that allows for both acoustic and electric sounds.
The guitar's unique sound is achieved through a combination of a Fishman pickup system and a custom-designed Fender preamp. The pickup system allows the player to seamlessly switch between acoustic and electric sounds, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles.
The Tube Amplifier: A Powerhouse of Tone
The Jack White Tube Amplifier is a custom-designed amplifier that perfectly complements the guitars in the collection. The amplifier features a 12-inch Celestion speaker, a single 6L6 power tube, and a simple control panel that allows for a wide range of tones.
The amplifier's unique sound is achieved through a combination of classic Fender circuitry and custom-designed transformers. The result is a powerful and versatile amplifier that delivers everything from clean, shimmering tones to roaring overdrive.
"Jack is regarded as a true visionary in the music world, and it has been an incredible journey working with him," said Justin Norvell, Fender's CEO. "The Jack White Collection is a testament to his unique sound and style, and we are thrilled to offer these instruments to his fans and musicians everywhere."
