Fender Brent Mason Telecaster – Primer Grey
A Nashville Legend Recreated
The Fender Brent Mason Telecaster – Primer Grey is a faithful tribute to the heavily modified Telecaster that Nashville’s most in-demand session guitarist discovered in the early 1980s. Mason’s original Tele became his go-to workhorse for thousands of recordings across country, pop, and rock. Now, Fender has recreated this one-of-a-kind instrument, complete with its unique pickup configuration, hardware upgrades, and signature Glaser Bender System.
If it’s good enough for Brent Mason – the guitarist behind legends like Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Carrie Underwood – it’s more than ready for the studio, stage, or your collection.
