Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is one of today’s top blues guitarists – do yourself a favour and watch him rip some tasty licks on his new Fender Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe
Fender has endowed blues maestro Christone “Kingfish” Ingram with a newly finished version of his signature Telecaster Deluxe.
Dubbed the Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe – for his Mississippi Delta origins and strong delta blues roots – the new guitar is, specs-wise – the same as his previous Mississippi Night-finished Telecaster Deluxe which arrived in 2022, but now sports a Daphne Blue finish plus a three-ply white Parchment pickguard.

Otherwise, the guitar’s spec sheet features an alder body with a gloss urethane finish, dual Custom Kingfish humbucking pickups – controlled via two volume pots, two tones and a three-way toggle switch – and an Adjusto-Matic with an anchored tailpiece.

The Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe, like its predecessor, also rocks a V-shape roasted maple neck with a 21-fret slab rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, satin urethane neck finish and ’70s Style headstock.
There’s also a custom serialised neck plate with Kingfish’s logo, for a little bit of extra visual eye candy.

“Christone’s raw and inspired guitar playing, soulful vocals and mature songwriting have captured the imagination of legions of new fans and fellow musicians alike, propelling him to become the face of a new generation of blues artists.”
You can watch Kingfish take his new Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe for a spin in a new episode of From the Factory Floor with Fender below. Watch him perform Voodoo Charm, Bad Like Me and Nothin’ But Your Love:
Last month, we caught up with Kingfish to ask him to name his six most influential blues guitar albums of all time. BB King, Jimi Hendrix and Johnny “Guitar” Watson all got mentioned, as well as the unexpected guitarist he calls a “prophet”.
The Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe is available now, priced at $2,249.99 / £2,599.
