Fender Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster Electric Guitar – Black
Merging elements from the famous “Low Rider” Telecasters and other T-style guitars favored by Jack White, the decidedly unconventional Fender Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster Electric Guitar – Black epitomizes Jack’s idiosyncratic and fearless approach to music making. This guitar starts with a lightweight chambered ash body in a traditional Tele shape, fit with an expressive Bigsby B5C vibrato unit, a banjo-style armrest, and a compensated 3-saddle bridge. A contoured neck heel then grants enhanced access to the Soft “V” maple neck’s matching maple fingerboard. Moreover, a 12-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets ensure even the wildest multi-step bends sing without a hint of fret out. Under the hood, this hot-rodded Tele shows its modded-out colors with a bridge-position Jack White Humbucker, a JW-90 in the middle position, and a Custom Jack White CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker in the neck position. You also get an idiosyncratic arrangement of Jack White accoutrements, including an arcade-style stutter switch, a 3-position mute/play/direct-to-jack switch, and a Hipshot Drop D extender. A Tele that truly stands apart from the pack, the Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster captures the rock ’n’ roll charm of its creator right down to a T.
Fell in love with a tone
True to its name, the Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster leverages an idiosyncratic HSH trio of pickups. In the neck position, the Triplecaster Telecaster houses a Custom Jack White CuNiFe Wide Range Humbucker, which supplies a brighter, more articulate spin on traditional humbucker sonics. Flip to the middle position to be rewarded by the midrange growl and grind of this guitar’s JW-90 single-coil. Finally, the bridge position slot contains a Custom Jack White Humbucker that snarls with raw attitude. It’s a supremely versatile arrangement of pickups, further elevated by Jack’s unusual wiring scheme, which includes an arcade-style stutter switch and a 3-position toggle that swaps between a standard volume/tone setup, a mute function, and a third option that hard-wires your pickups straight to the output jack for a pure and bright tonality.
Ball and Bigsby
Influenced by his love for heavily modified vintage instruments, the Jack White Triplecaster comes equipped with a hodgepodge of hardware. However, unlike the battered old catalog guitar you’d find in a pawn shop, this Tele utilizes top-of-the-line components in every respect, starting with a chopped Telecaster-style bridge. This bridge boasts compensated saddles for superior intonation up and down the fingerboard, in addition to tapered side walls for a smoother feel on your palm. Next, you get a classic Bigsby B5C vibrato that unlocks subtle, vintage-inflected shimmer. Top it all off with top-quality sealed Fender tuning machines and a banjo-style armrest, and the Jack White Triplecaster captures the idiosyncratic vibe of Jack’s spotlight-stealing vintage axes with the lock-tight benefits of modern performance.
From standard to Drop D in an instant
From the Delta down south to the electrified sounds of Chicago in the ’60s, Jack White’s music draws deep from the endless well of the blues. Naturally, that includes exploring all kinds of swampy alternate tunings — that’s where the Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster’s Hipshot Xtender comes in. This handy little device features a lever that instantly takes your low E string down to Drop D and just as easily returns it to pitch when you press the lever back to its original position.
