Merle Haggard

Oklahoma badass Merle Haggard blasted through his hits—including “Mama Tried,” “Fighting Side of Me,” “Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down,” and of course “Okie From Muskogee”—with the help of his signature Fender Custom Shop Telecaster that boasts a maple center block, alder wings with tone chambers, a laminated, figured maple top, a figured maple neck and fretboard, and Texas Special pickups.
