Kath, who Jimi Hendrix once cited as his favorite guitarist, fused sophisticated songwriting ability with his soulful vocals to launch Chicago Transit Authority in 1967. The band shortened its name to Chicago in 1969, achieving worldwide success and 2016 induction into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame. A consummate innovator, Kath created mind-blowing, never-before-heard guitar tones by experimenting with unorthodox guitar\/amp configurations. His instinctive command of his completely original tone is heard on memorable tracks such as “25 or 6 to 4”, “Free Form Guitar”, “Introduction” and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis main guitar—the one with which he is most identified, and which accompanied him on the journey to cult status—is a most unusual 1966 Telecaster, completely customized and plastered with stickers. Kath was so attached to the guitar that he’d buy a seat just for the instrument when traveling by air, rather than entrusting it to airline baggage handlers or even Chicago’s road crew. The Tele® was an amalgamation of highly personalized modifications, including a sawed-off Tele bridge with a synchronized Strat® tremolo, a humbucking neck pickup, custom body routes, a reverse control plate, custom tuning machines and three “wing” string trees. Adorned with Pignose stickers and other intricately placed regalia, the guitar has become legendary in of itself and is synonymous with Kath and his enduring musical legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fender Custom Shop is distinctly honored to pay tribute to such an acclaimed pioneer by recreating Kath’s amazing custom instrument—which truly embodied the notion of “custom” long before the Fender Custom Shop was founded. Master Builder Dennis Galuszka has recreated the guitar in exacting scratch-for-scratch detail, from the Pignose stickers to the gaff-tape-sealed rear body route and every other exacting element. In a special 50-piece run, the Limited Edition Terry Kath Telecaster is an instrument for the ages and a meticulously crafted homage to one of the true guitar greats of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"span4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-sidebar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sidebar-series\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sidebar-series\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec_category_table span9 text-left\" id=\"spec_category_table_body\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eTelecaster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e2-Piece Select Ash\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eLacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec_category_table span9 text-left\" id=\"spec_category_table_neck\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eFlat Sawn Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eCustom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e25.5\" (64.77 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e7.25\" (184.1 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eFret Size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eString Nut:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eBone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eNitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eRound-Laminated Rift Sawn Maple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003ePosition Inlays:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eBlack Dot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec_category_table span9 text-left\" id=\"spec_category_table_electronics\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eCustom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele®\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eCurtis Novak® Custom Terry Kath Humbucker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003eControls:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003eMaster Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"20%\"\u003ePickup Switching:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003e3-Position Blade: Position 1.
