Fender Custom Shop Brian Fallon Telecaster Electric Guitar In Black

The Fender Custom Shop Brian Fallon Telecaster is a finely honed tribute to one of modern rock’s most distinctive songwriters. Modelled on Fallon’s own number one Tele, this double-bound black beauty blends classic late fifties Telecaster Custom aesthetics with carefully chosen modern tweaks, delivering a guitar that feels instantly familiar yet inspiringly alive under the fingers.

At its heart is a lightweight, two-piece alder body finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, paired with a rift sawn maple neck and luxurious 3A rosewood fingerboard. The result is a resonant, responsive instrument that rings acoustically before you even plug in. Once you do, the custom-voiced Righteous Sound Fourth Man pickups and Dual Stack HS Tele wiring unlock a huge palette of tones, from snarling, mid-forward bite to warm, articulate cleans and shimmering in-between textures.

Every detail has been considered to support the kind of honest, hard-working playing that defines Fallon’s music. The comfortable 60s Oval C neck profile, 9.5 inch radius and vintage upgrade frets make rhythm work effortless and lead lines smooth, while the 63 Tele bridge with RSD brass saddles keeps intonation solid and sustain singing. This is a Telecaster built to handle long sets, big choruses and intimate moments with equal authority.

Brian Fallon Inspired Design

Drawing directly from Brian Fallon’s own Telecaster, this model captures the look, feel and sound of his trusted workhorse. The double-bound black body and rosewood board nod to classic Telecaster Custom style, while the carefully chosen neck carve and hardware reflect the demands of a touring songwriter who relies on his guitar night after night.

Resonant Alder Body and Rift Sawn Neck

The two-piece select alder body offers a balanced tonal foundation, with punchy mids, clear highs and controlled low end that sits perfectly in a band mix. Paired with a tinted rift sawn maple neck and dark 3A rosewood fingerboard, you get excellent stability, lively resonance and a smooth playing surface that encourages expressive chord work and melodic lines.

Righteous Sound Fourth Man Pickups

Custom Righteous Sound Fourth Man pickups provide the voice of this Tele. The bridge pickup delivers the midrangy snarl and bite needed for driving rock rhythms, while the split-coil neck pickup offers warm, clear note definition ideal for arpeggios and melodic passages. In the middle position they combine for a shimmering, well-balanced tone that is perfect for choruses and dynamic clean parts.

Dual Stack HS Tele Wiring

The Dual Stack HS Tele wiring unlocks a versatile tonal range without complicating the control layout. With a simple master volume and master tone, you can move from gritty, harmonically rich drive to sweet, chiming cleans just by working the controls, making it easy to react to the song and the room in real time.
