[MrPedal]

I was lucky enough to see Terry play this guitar many times from the first couple of rows. The ultimate feather in Fender's cap.

That really is a beautiful guitar. I like what someone said about this being such an honor, and a tribute to him and his memory, so many years after we lost him. Definitely special.

[CharlieRicker]

This is so dope. Thank God this is finally happening, Terry deserves this honor! The best guitar player EVER, in my opinion.

Saw the documentary a few months ago, very touching story. Super happy they managed to find Terry's guitar. Wasn't a super big Chicago fan, but the documentary changed my mind

[robertfiorellino]

I saw Chicago at Manhattan college with the Guess Who opening. I will never forget that concert. I just loved Terry's balls to the wall playing. Oh, what could have been.

I was so happy to see her find that Telecaster.
I was shocked to see that blonde Strat with a gold anodized pickguard in the beat up tweed case. The 0003 serial number made my jaw drop. I’d love to see more on that.

Fender consistently amazes me with these types of guitars. And what do they top out at? 5, 000? A fancy Gibson is 2, 500, and it doesn’t have half the story these Fenders do. The attention to detail is simply astounding! I am not a rich man, so I will probably never be able to purchase a guitar like this. But they are a thing of beauty.

TERRY KATH IS ONE OF ALL BESTS GUITARRISTS ON THE WORLD... ISN'T A NEW THING, BUT EVEN THE JIMI HENDRIX WAS IMPRESSED ABOUT TERRY AS A GUITAR PLAYER AND SAID IT TO THE OTHERS MEMBERS OF CHICAGO: OH, TERRY IS BETTER THAN ME... SO, IF A GOD GUITAR DECLARED THIS ALIVE, TERRY KATH IS A GOD GUITAR TOO... NOT SO, INJUSTICED, RECOGNIZED FOR THE MIDIA, BUT FOR ME IS MY BIG GOD GUITAR IDOL... AND HE'S A MONSTER AS A SINGER TOO... I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND SO MUCH, TERRY KATH!!!! 🤘🏼😠🇧🇷❤️

Would LOVE to see Keith Howland play this on stage.

[michaelmetal]

Don’t get me wrong I love fender guitars the Stratocaster is my all-time favorite body shape but there’s no way any normal person is going to own one of these I know he doesn’t want them to become wall hangers but that’s exactly what they’re going to be because only rich people and Rockstars can afford them and you know damn well no one is going to take them out on tour or play them anywhere they’re going to sit somewhere and collect dust for a long time before anybody buys one so sad

[artsheart]

Mine is on order for 3Q the store tells me. Weird that they guy playing in the background was playing Country Music. Teles are generally well-accepted in Country and Country-Rock (see the Eagles) but not this tele. And certainly not Terry Kath who was Blues, Rock and harder Rock and maybe a tiny bit of Pop. Does anyone know what guitar he used for Jenny, I think Chicago VI. The opening is fantastic. Peace y’all.

I'm guessing it's around $5000?

[aaronkirkland]

I'm not a fan of wall hangers so just fork out $20, 000 and make this your daily. How tone deaf is that builder.
