Fender Makes Andrew Leahey First Artist to Receive New “Deluxe Nashville Telecaster”

Fender Makes Andrew Leahey First Artist to Receive New “Deluxe Nashville Telecaster” 
For 70 years, Fender has inspired
countless musicians to pick up its electric guitars, from Stratocaster
players like Mark Knopfler to Telecaster pickers like Laur Joamets. This
week, Fender’s Nashville-based A&R team hand-picked American rock
& roll songwriter and guitar player Andrew Leahey — frontman of
Andrew Leahey & the Homestead — to receive the FIRST in a new line
of “Deluxe Nashville Telecaster” guitars. 
“The first guitar I ever bought was a
Fender Squire Strat,” Andrew remembers. “I was 10 years old, and I mowed
my neighbor’s lawn for an entire summer to save up enough money. Years
later, it’s an honor to be working with some of the guys behind this
company. They’re true music fans, willing to invest in some of the newer
faces in Nashville’s music scene. To say that I’m honored to be the
first to receive one of these new guitars is an understatement.”
Andrew recovered from a risky brain
surgery in 2014 and responded to his new lease on life by writing and
recording an 11-track album, ‘Skyline In Central Time,’ due out August
5th on Thirty Tigers. Ken Coomer, Wilco’s drummer and co-founder,
produced the project.
