A limited run of 60 copies of Sheryl Crow`s 1959 Telecaster Custom is being released, with one copy being signed and donated to National Breast Cancer Foundation.
In 1959 Fender released the first Telecaster with Custom badge, which became an instant hit. Throughout the years it proved to be one of the coolest and most sought after Telecasters ever made. As Years passed by thousands upon thousands of players honed their skills exactly on this Tele. One of them was Sheryl Crow. In 1994, just before the start of her first solo tour, her 1959 Custom Telecaster was stolen. She quickly replaced it and embarked on the tour. After the show in Austin, a fan gave her a 1959 Tele, which belonged to his mother, who died of breast cancer. Sheryl took it and it became her main instrument. It has been her number one guitar for studio and stage for almost 20 years and now Fender Custom Shop is launching a limited edition made after it.
