There are only 50 models of Fender’s new Custom Shop LE Terry Kath Telecaster going on sale worldwide. It’s a recreation of the Chicago guitarist’s heavily-customized original, reports Gear News.

The original Terry Kath Telecaster became a heavily customized instrument, and the Fender Custom Shop has been on a mission to recreate each modification that it went through. The guitar is based on an original ‘52 Tele ash body in aged vintage white with a lacquer finish, as well as a custom ‘67 Tele maple neck with 21 frets and a vintage 7.25” fretboard radius.

With this awesome guitar comes the Fender Synchronized Stratocaster trem with a sawed-off Telecaster bridge plate, the Telecaster bridge pickup, and the humbucker in the neck. The pickups are all wired with custom routing and have a reverse control plate.

True to the original, there’s also gaffer tape on the rear of the body to conceal the routing that the guitar had received. Other mods include a set of custom tuning machines and three “wing” string trees.

With only 50 of these Custom Shop recreations available worldwide, they are aimed at collectors more than anyone else. After all, it’s a very specific instrument, and probably not for everyone.

At a price tag of $20k each, they aren’t affordable by everyone either. You can hear the guitar and its full back story in the official Fender Custom Shop Video below.

Don’t fret, you can still grab some awesome guitar sounds – even if you’re not lucky enough to be able to grab this awesome guitar.
