Product Description

A leaner, meaner Troublemaker Tele for guitarists seeking to combine modern features and classic style. Fender Made In Japan instruments are fitted and finished with unique specs we rarely get to experience in Europe and America. When you see one appear, snap it up as soon as you can!

Construction

The Troublemaker is quite unlike your classic Tele. Out goes the ashtray bridge, singular tone and volume knobs and standard woods, and in comes a whole host of new hardware. It's equipped with an Adjusto-Matic bridge and tailpiece as well as a half-size pickguard; drastically changing the vibe of the instrument.

In the construction department, the Troublemaker is made of a mahogany body and neck combination topped with a rosewood fingerboard. Its slimmer "C" neck profile allows for fast playing across the 22 narrow, tall frets - a hybrid of vintage and modern finer details.

Sound

The biggest sonic evolution comes in the form of two Type II Modern Modified humbuckers. These pickups deliver crisp, contemporary tones suited to more aggressive styles of music than the standard Tele design. For big, crystal clear overdriven chords or smooth leads and cleans, these are the pickups to do it.
