Description
Fred Newell is best known for his decade-long position as the lead guitarist on Nashville Now, the hugely popular flagship show of TNN, The Nashville Network. However, few are aware of all the sessions he played on that were huge hits for Alabama, George Strait, Jerry Reed, and The Kendalls. This is his iconic red-neck Tele that was silkscreened with the TNN logo and heavily featured during the run of the show from 1983-1993. It features a DiMarzio neck and body and an array of period correct parts, from a 70s Fender bridge and pickup to and ESP plate and Schaller tuners.

Guitar YouTuber Ask Zac released a video on Newell's career and a bit of the history of this guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rLe6_fG_Js
