Today, Fender launches the Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe. A complement to Christone “Kingfish” Ingram’s original Signature model in Mississippi Night, this new colourway was dreamed up by Kingfish as an homage to his hometown roots.
The Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster® Deluxe comes ahead of the Grammy-winning blues guitar sensation’s return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 for the Hard Road Tour, bringing his explosive live show to stages across the country. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a rare 21st century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues,” Kingfish has taken the music world by storm with his searing guitar work, soulful vocals, and boundary-pushing songwriting. At just 26, he has already collaborated with legends including Buddy Guy, Jason Isbell, and The Rolling Stones, while headlining major festivals around the world. The Hard Road 2026 Tour celebrates the release of his new album Hard Road, a record that reimagines the blues for a new generation by fusing it with rock, funk, R&B, and soul.

Recognized at a young age for his exceptional musical talent, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram’s path has taken him from hometown hero to global star. 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.
The Kingfish Telecaster® Deluxe features two custom humbucking pickups voiced for growling, overdriven blues-rock and an adjusto-matic bridge for perfect intonation. The “V”-shaped roasted maple neck has a classic feel while the 12” radius slab rosewood fingerboard delivers chunky tones and big bends. With guts and sophistication, the Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe delivers scorching blues in a classy package.
In a new episode of From the Factory Floor, Fender introduces the Kingfish Delta Day Telecaster Deluxe.
