Product Description
Key Features
- Time Capsule - Fender’s Time Capsule portrays a vintage instrument in near-new condition. There is no real ageing but its NOS Lacquer has lost some of its sheen and some parts of the metal hardware show slight oxidisation.
- ‘52 U - The classic baseball bat Telecaster neck. Its chunky yet comfortable neck profile allows players to really hold on to the guitar neck and feel connected to the instrument up and down its scale length.
- 7.25” Radius - The original and to many, still the best. Maximum fretting hand comfort especially when playing complex chords.
- Roasted Maple - Select cuts of riff sawn Maple are chosen and then roasted for unparalleled strength and stability with reduced weight and increased resonance.
Twisted Tele
Fender’s Twisted Tele pickups merge the boundaries between the crystal, bell-like chime of a Strat and the higher output twang of a Tele. These Custom Shop designed and made pickups are built using Alnico 5 for an overall vintage-styled tonality that sits comfortably with all playing styles. The neck pickup features a taller bobbin for increased wind space and is wound using Formvar-coated magnet wire for enhanced Strat-like glassiness. The bridge pickup bobbin height is decreased and Enamel-coated wire is used for a darker, warmer tone with a more open, full-bodied midrange. These uniquely tailored pickups are well-balanced and truly offer a best-of-both-worlds Fender electric guitar tone.
Original Woods
Fender's original wood combination of an Ash body partnered up with a Maple neck. The Ash provides a sweet and resonant well-balanced guitar tone which is brilliantly complimented by the brightness and responsiveness of the maple neck.
