“In 1957 Muddy Waters bought a brand new Fender Telecaster. Originally white with a maple neck, he replaced the maple with a rosewood neck in 1961 and had the body painted candy apple red, replacing the knobs with those from a Fender amplifier. Nicknamed ‘The Hoss’ that Tele remained Muddy’s main workhorse until his passing in 1983.” -- source link
