Custom NOS Tele

What more can we say about Fender’s Custom Shop? Well, this awe-inspiring Tele supplies us with that classic character done to modern perfection. Like a fine wine, this Tele is beautifully aged featuring a NOS finish to really give you that brand new ‘50s feeling in your hands. The Ash body will capture resonant tones, projecting a full-bodied sound to compliment those Twisted Tele hand-wound pickups. These pickups deliver high output, with a dash of Strat character to give you more of a unique tone that has been tailored to achieve individuality in both neck and bridge positions. The neck pickup magnet has been formvar coated to add a glassy, warm tone, whereas the bridge pickup magnet has been enamel coated to produce a vintage warmth on top of the signature sounding tele ‘twang’.

Comfortable Contemporary Feel

Staying true to tradition, the Custom Shop has produced a comfortable “C” shaped profile neck that has been precisely finished to give you a hardwearing lacquer that is nice and smooth to run up and down the fretboard. It is perfectly balanced between a satin and gloss finish giving it a uniquely vintage feel in your hands.

Key Features

• NOS - The new old stock style gives you a Fender guitar that you could have bought new in '50s, '60s, '70s. This specific finish means that your guitar will age and wear naturally, giving you a little piece of 'new' history for you to create your own story.
• Twisted Tele Hand-Wound Pickups – Producing a unique Tele tone that has been refined to give you individuality from the neck and bridge position with a hint of Strat charm for glassy and warm undertones.
• Double-Bound Body Construction – A premium construction that holds tonal resonance to give you an airy and warm sonic projection.
• Comfortable Playability – A perfectly balanced and carved “C” shape neck profile gives you a comfortable and familiar feel that stays true to this reimagined ‘60s build.
• Bigsby Bridge & Tailpiece – Giving you enhanced vibrato and expression, the Bigsby is a traditional bridge style that completes the vintage look of this Custom Shop Tele.
