Fender Masterbuilt "Fuzz Smuggler" Telecaster by Levi Perry

Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder Levi Perry has produced yet another stunning & unique guitar – The Fuzz Smuggler!

The Fuzz Smuggler starts as a Telecaster but adds a unique twist that has to be seen to be believed. The guitar contains a fuzz-octave-delay effects module built into the Ash body, which the settings can be easily changed. Combined with breathtaking artwork across the body of the guitar, it emphasizes the uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind instrument.

Key Features

• Josefina Hand-Wound Pickups – Turn heads with the enhanced bass response, punchy mid-range & crystal clear high that these pickups will deliver!
• Built-in Fuzz-Octave-Delay - Control the effects parameters with the dials across the body of the guitar for instant setting changes!
• Unique Artwork - This guitar body artwork was designed by Levi Perry.
• Expertly Reliced – This guitar has been expertly Reliced by Levi Perry and has a unique finish to it.

Integrated Fuzz-Octave-Delay

Embedded inside the guitar, some on-board effects have been smuggled in! Control the effects parameters with the dials across the body of the guitar for instant setting changes! The controls featured are:

• Volume push/pull turns the delay on and off.
• Tone push/pull turns the octave up.
• Momentary Switch sends the delay to oscillation.

Tonewoods

The body is created from the finest hand-selected Ash, which is a nod to the original wood that Telecasters were made from originally – Leo Fender himself used Ash for his first Telecaster!

Enjoy the comfortable feel of the AA flame Maple, which was hand-selected as the one of the finest pieces of Maple to have the opportunity to be part of this masterpiece.

Relic Treatment

When a guitar is reliced, it is an exceptional finish that is creatively made to look worn, scratched, chipped, and tattered even though they are brand new! A relic finish, otherwise known as an aging or distressing process, varies in outcome like any other hand-designed guitar feature. With this guitar being reliced by Fender Masterbuilder Levi Perry, he literally has reliced this guitar for you in this unique way!
