  • Fender Custom Shop signature artist G.E. Smith is perhaps best known for his Emmy-winning decade as the distinctively ponytailed musical director for Saturday Night Live, six years of tours with Hall & Oates, NET (never ending tour) with Bob Dylan and Rogers Waters, and gigs with David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Tina Turner among many others. Smith checks in with a variety of vintage Fender gear to talk about his latest project as well as his own connection to Fender throughout his life.
    For every artist that contributes a check-in, Fender will make a donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

    Gotta tell you. GE is a great story teller. He's just as into telling it as we are to listen. Plus he's got the playing chops to bring it all together.

    Please please bring back his signature tele. I have been searching and searching for one, every-time I think I have found the right one, something falls through. The G.E Smith telecaster is my Eleanor.

      I know!! I wish they'd reissue them as well. The red one is what I've been trying to get for years. Beautiful guitars that I wish Fender kept making for longer than they did.

    Had the pleasure of seeing GE on tour about 20 years ago in a medium-sized local club, and the band was hotter than Chernobyl carbon rods. I got up the nerve to ask him about his telecaster during a break between sets. Yep, the one in the video... Very accommodating, friendly, and thanked me for coming to the show.

    I first heard of G E Smith in the mid 90's via an excellent interview & gear extravaganza in an American guitar magazine. Over here 🇬🇧 , I never heard his playing until the Telecaster double dvd & later You Tube . Awesome demonstration of the versatility of an old Blackguard and a good guy 👌

    Dear Fender: this is what the "Artist Series" is all about. I don't know how many of these I've suffered through with jumped-up children playing the most basic and underwhelming "music" that I wouldn't suffer in a coffeehouse. I see those videos and wonder why I shouldn't try to convince you to send me one, too. I see this, and think it's time for me to buy another one...I think you get what I mean...

    Hey, GE, you don't have to know anything on steel. I've got a great cheat for anyone who doesn't know theory at all. If I'd had this when I was 15, I would've spent my life in Hawaii. I'm 65 and still might 😊
