The James Burton Telecaster is loaded with modern features yet retains the classic Tele sound and feel that James likes. It has a special 5-way “Strat-o-Tele” switching. It also has James’ initials on it.

James Burton Standard Telecaster
When James started out, he replaced his strings with banjo strings because they didn’t make the strings he wanted for guitar players. He was the first to do so. Until this day, James uses these unusual gauges: .009, .010, .012, .024, .032 and .038. James doesn’t only pick with a guitar pick, but he also uses a metal fingerpick on his middle finger.

This beautiful Telecaster was specially carved for James by Doug Rowell in 1972. Click here for a picture of James with this guitar on stage with Elvis.
