Our take

Who this one is for

Buck Owens built the Bakersfield Sound around a Telecaster, and this model follows his own custom Tele from his career and the Hee Haw years: a double-bound alder body in sparkle with a matching painted headstock, a gold mirrored pickguard and gold hardware.

The pickups are a Custom Buck Owens Alnico 3 Tele Single-Coil at the bridge and a Custom Buck Owens Alnico 2 at the neck, voiced after early '50s Tele pickups. The bridge is the 3-saddle strings-through-body design with brass barrel saddles. The late '50s "C" neck has a 7.25" radius maple board with vintage frets, which feels round under the hand and suits chording and rhythm work. Bends past a whole step can fret out on that radius.

For another country Tele with plenty of shine, compare the Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster. For a plain early Tele, look at the American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster. The finish on offer is Silver and Blue Sparkle.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. After you order, we check with the supplier and email you an ETA. If it changes, we let you know, and you can cancel.

Want an estimate for this model before you order? Ask us in the chat.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
