{"product_id":"fender-richie-kotzen-telecaster","title":"Fender Richie Kotzen Telecaster","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichie Kotzen's Telecaster was a Japan-only model for years before it went worldwide, and it is still made in Japan. A contoured ash body under a bound flame maple top, gold hardware, and a pair of DiMarzios chosen for him: a Twang King in the neck and a Chopper T in the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control layout is his own. There is a master volume, no tone knob, and a rotary switch that flips the pickups between series and parallel, so the middle position gives you either the familiar bright pairing or a thicker, louder series sound. The large \"C\" neck fills the hand, and the 12\" radius with 22 jumbo frets makes for low action and clean bends high up the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same build ideas in a Stratocaster, look at the Richie Kotzen Stratocaster. This one comes in Brown Sunburst with a maple fingerboard and abalone dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Japan\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Ash with Flame Maple Laminated Top\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Urethane\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Cream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Urethane\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Large \"C\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (305 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Abalone Dot\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Standard\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Synthetic Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: DiMarzio The Chopper T DP384\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Dimarzio Twang King DP172G\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Series\/Parallel Rotary Switch\u003cbr\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
