Intonation-enhancing 6-saddle string-through bridge Whether playing solo or going toe-to-toe with her husband Derek Trucks in the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Susan’s 1993 American Standard Telecaster is — 30-plus years down the road — still a staple of her stage and studio rig. What sets it apart from your typical Tele? The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s 6-saddle string-through bridge defies old-school Tele specs, supplying enhanced intonation accuracy. Moreover, Sweetwater’s traditional Tele adherents find this bridge’s block steel saddles result in a slightly brighter and crisper voice than standard brass saddles. Slim, sleek neck The Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster’s neck provides a perfect foundation for emotive blues brilliance, beginning with a sleek shaft of maple carved into a custom Modern “C” profile. It’s a slim shape that makes sliding up and down the slab rosewood fingerboard a breeze. Topside, you get a 9.5-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets. It all comes together to supply you with a high-performance platform for both wide, emotive bends and comfortable rhythm comping. Versatile TBX Tone Circuit While the Fender Susan Tedeschi Telecaster may look like a standard Tele from the outset, the truth is that this 6-string is hiding a high-octane surprise under its tortoiseshell ’guard: Fender’s TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuit. This fully passive circuit utilizes a stacked 250k/1Meg potentiometer, with the first half of the sweep functioning as a standard tone control. However, once you roll up past six on the dial, the TBX circuit decreases resistance to boost your Tele’s presence, bass, treble, and output for a hotter and thicker tone.
