That's a cool guitar, but I'm not enough of a Joe Strummer / The Clash fan to spend that much on a relic'ed guitar.
AND I'm about to retire in 3.5 months, and I'll be going on a fixed income.
AND I probably need to sell some guitars, not buy some.
AND if I could get a guitar owned and played by Rick Derringer, I would probably pay that much.
I'm gonna shut up now.

I can only imagine the lengthy rant Joe would have gone on if someone had explained the concept of "relic" guitars to him, then told him Fender would copy his beat up guitar and charge $1800 for it.
the family of joe owns the tele...fender had to pay them to make a copy...with that the cost will increase
Everything is crazy money these days - the AO 50s current street price is $2,150. But this re-release of the Strummer seems to be quite a cash grab.

I like Joe Strummer's public image that working class anarchist routine, his father was
Fender salutes Joe Strummer with a Road Worn signature Telecaster
Modelled after the legendary Clash frontman’s mid-‘60s Telecaster, this new Fender Artist Series production line model has vintage mojo in abundancewww.musicradar.com
Ronald Ralph Mellor MBE (1916–1984), was born in the Indian city of Lucknow due to his own father's job as a railway official in India, and became a clerical officer who later attained the rank of second secretary in the foreign service.
Working class hero, I think not!

A couple of years ago I bought a Traynor amp. When I went to check it out, the guy said that his old Telecaster was included with the amp. It was a home made relic. I don't like relics, and I didn't think this one was that good. I took it, since it was included with the amp. I figured I'd keep the Traynor and flip the Telecaster. Turns out I loved the way that guitar felt. I ended up flipping the amp and keeping the guitar. I added the Joe Strummer stickers because the guitar kind of reminded me of his old Tele. I would have never bought this guitar intentionally, but now that I own it I kind of like it.

It is crazy money and as long as I love Joe, I will probably not buy it.
However, had they released a MIM version of the white esquire with the black strip, I would have been very, very weak.

No from me, I saw him play the original one though.
Hah. Printed relicing. Do we get stick-on tattoos in the case?

hit me over the head and take all my money keep the guitar then I will have really been robbed , do you like that? I thought you would. oh before you give me a good crackin', listen to this, right, After finishing his time at City of London Freemen's School in 1970, Strummer moved on to the Central School of Art and Design in London, where he briefly considered becoming a professional cartoonist and completed a one-year foundation course.
He did become a cartoon; a rock and roll cartoon as it were.
His father’s was Ronald Mellor. His father worked as a British diplomat.
Will the real John Graham Mellor of Ankara, Turkey, please stand up.

It's twice what you would pay for it you mean. For other people it's fine.
Money grab...I mean, that's what businesses do, right?
