Player's Perspective

We're stoked to present this gorgeous Fender Custom Shop American Custom Telecaster! Many know the Fender Custom Shop for cranking out incredible vintage reissues and amazing "Relic" guitars, but here's a unique case where they elevated the vintage Telecaster platform to new heights with a more contemporary mindset.

Featuring a beautiful Bleached 3-Tone Sunburst finish with binding on a beautiful piece of ash as well as a breathtaking roasted AA Birdseye Maple neck and dark rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlays, this guitar can be somewhat considered as the Custom Shop's luxurious, hot-rodded take on the early-60s Telecaster Custom model. The modern features include the locking tuners, compound radius fretboard, and contoured neck heel. These are much-appreciated additions, as these specs are some of the most useful and high-end Fender has to offer and are definite utility improvements over vintage spec. This is a uniquely extravagant Custom Shop masterpiece, through and through. 

It features a oval "C" neck reminiscent of vintage instruments, a nitro lacquer finish and hardware appointments that call back to the the classic 1960s Telecaster. The Texas Special bridge single-coil has all of the punch, twang, quack and warmth you could ever want, while the Seymour Duncan Seth Lover neck humbucker balances nicely and offers some "PAF" warmth to the Telecaster platform. Keith Richards, anyone?

You know you're getting a special instrument in your hands any time you pick up something built by Fender's Custom Shop team, and this guitar is sure to not only meet but exceed your expectations!
