INTERVIEW: SUSAN TEDESCHI Talks Signature Fender Telecaster

Officially announced last week was the news of Susan Tedeschi’s first ever signature guitar. Fender has honoured the talented blues guitarist, singer, songwriter with her first Fender® signature guitar, patterned after Tedeschi’s instantly identifiable Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Tele®, which is featured on the cover of her seminal album Just Won’t Burn and has been her go-to guitar for over 30 years.
Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips had the pleasure of catching up with Susan Tedeschi over a zoom call to chat about the signature Telecaster, what it means to her and we also discussed her recent Australian tour for Bluesfest and more.

You are a great player and singer Susan and your signature Tele is totally deserved. I respect how hard you work, with Derek and the band. I love the spiritual rock you play. Take good care of yourself and make sure you enjoy enough quality time with your family.

Her solo phrasing caught the ear of 1 bob dylan. Shes a diamond 💎 👏 My fave phase from this awesome interview : "my husbands playing humbuckers" 😂

[@scottmartin356]

Susan, you rock! Congrats on a signature model, I hope it does inspire more of the distaff side to have fun and maybe even excel as you have!!

[@coryburns13]

I love everything Susan and Derrek, from TTB to each of their individual bands to all their collaborations...I'm here for all of it!!!

[@TwangThang57]

Killer player, awesome human!

[@coryburns13]

I love what she's saying about musical education, I thought I knew music before I found Derek and Warren and Susan, but hearing them say things like, "go back and find who Eric was listening to and see where THEY got it"...a heck of a lot of my musical education came from interviews with people like Derek and Susan man

[@JasonsGuitarJams]

She's beautiful inside and out!

[@jasonrosewarne6762]

Love Susan, been following her since the very start of her career. Great interview.

[@priceamp]

Bless you Sue and all of TTB for keeping the musical torch burning.

[@PetraKann]

Susan not only plays my favourite guitar, the Tele, she is a fantastic guitarist.

[@HektorBandimar]

Susan and Derek have a great band and Susan has a great voice. I think that Telecaster looks good, I like the Tele sound, it's a guitar with a lot of capabilities. Looking good Sue !

[@LeftCoastStephen]

Very cool! Now if it came wth all the signatures on hers!😊

[@RollieFingers59]

As someone from the states, I will tell you she and her band are a national treasure!!!

[@ahall3823]

There's a "god" and it "blesses" people on request? Amazing the things you learn on youtube.

She’s cool calm and collected in so many ways hope she inspires as many other women as she can such a warm personality with realistic ideals

[@jrb5512]

If Susan hasn't already, she should do Leon's "Song For You".
