Development at Fender Mexico
Fender introduced the Cabronita Telecaster in 2013 as part of its Mexican production line, combining the Tele body shape with humbucking pickups sourced from TV Jones to expand tonal options beyond traditional single-coils.
Design Influences
The model draws from custom-shop experiments and earlier Fender artist guitars that swapped pickups for hotter output, resulting in a solidbody instrument with a 9.5-inch radius rosewood or maple fingerboard and vintage-style tuners.
Notable Artists and Use
Session players and touring musicians have adopted Cabronita Teles for stage and studio work requiring both Tele snap and humbucker sustain; the model remains in limited reissues and used-market circulation.
