Fender Telecaster Andy Summers signature

The Fender Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster (2007) is one of the Fender Artist series signature guitar models. It is a replica of the 1963 Fender Telecaster custom hybrid guitar (or 1961 Telecaster as some reports state) - 250 of these were made, all by hand.

Development of the Tribute Telecaster had taken over a year, and the Signature Telecaster was complete in time for the Police's 2007 reunion tour, when Andy finally took it on tour. The original was too precious to him to take on tour, so it was kept in storage.

A Duncan '59 pickup was chosen as a close substitute to the 1959 Gibson PAF humbucker on the original.
