Product Description
Key Features
- NOS - One of the most popular finish options in the Fender Custom Shop. A New Old Stock guitar looks exactly how it would have looked the day it left the factory however many years ago. It’s as close to having a time machine as we can offer!
- Oval 60s C - The perfect middle ground between a modern slim C-shaped neck and a more vintage style shape. It perfectly hugs your hand without feeling clumpy.
- Quarter Sawn Maple - Straight-grained and around 50% more stable than a traditional plain-sawn neck.
Josefina
With a direct link right back to Leo Fender and the original production of Fender’s instruments in the 50s, Josefina Campos is keeping Fender's pickup-making torch burning brightly! Selected by the ‘Queen of Tone’ Abigale Yabarra (Fender’s original pickup winder from the early 50s) to be her apprentice before she retired, Josefina’s hand-wound pickups are the sum of all Abigale’s and Leo’s knowledge. This '63 Tele features a hand-wound Twisted Tele in the neck position and a '51 Nocaster in the bridge offering a perfect balance of Strat-like charm in the rhythm position and unadulterated Tele twang at the bridge.
Perfect Combinations
Utilising Fender's classic wood combination of Alder, Maple and Rosewood, this Telecaster does it right! Featuring a double-bound 2-piece Alder body in a Chartreuse Sparkle finish with a quarter sawn Maple neck and AAA slab Rosewood fingerboard this Tele offers it in Premium styling. Tonally, it's well-balanced with a slight push in the upper mids as you'd expect from a vintage-voiced Telecaster. The guitar sustains nicely and at 7.6lbs it’s a very comfortable weight.
