Our take

Who this one is for

Susan Tedeschi has played the same Caribbean Mist 1993 American Standard Telecaster since she first picked it up, and it is the guitar on the cover of Just Won't Burn. Her signature model follows it closely: an Aged Caribbean Mist finish, a four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and a slab rosewood fingerboard.

It is a modern Telecaster underneath. The slim Tedeschi "C" neck has a 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, the truss rod adjusts at the headstock, and the bridge uses six block steel saddles for precise intonation. A pair of custom single-coils run through master volume and a master TBX tone control.

For a vintage-leaning alternative, the American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster has a rosewood board and three-saddle bridge. The Tedeschi comes in a black hardshell case with a crushed velvet interior.

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.
