Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition CuNiFe Telecaster Custom Journeyman in Magenta Sparkle

Key Features

• Original Blackguard Bridge Pickup - The Custom Shop's faithful recreation of quite possibly the most historically important electric guitar pickup ever to be produced.
• Journeyman – Expertly aged and relic’d to look like it has been your most prized possession for over 50 years. Lightly aged and checkered with some honest playwear, but generally in a condition that shows this guitar was meticulously looked after and cherished.
• Bigsby Vibrato - Add effortless, beautiful, vocal-like vibrato to notes and chords with the Bigsby B5 Vibrato System. From subtle warble to expressive pitch-shifting, the Bigsby Vibrato is the perfect addition for players who want more from their playing.

CuNiFe Wide Range

Introduced by Fender in the early ‘70s the Wide Range pickup was Fender’s first venture into humbucking pickups. Designed by legendary pickup designer Seth Lover (designer of the esteemed Gibson PAF Humbucker), this pickup offered guitarists the fatness often associated with humbuckers while still maintaining the articulation and clarity of a typical Fender single-coil pickup.

‘60s C Oval Shape Neck

The neck that can do everything! Not too thin and not too fat, just right no matter what style of playing you want to play that day. The neck is big enough that you can still wrap your thumb over and feel the whole guitar shake as you strum the strings as hard as you can yet still thin enough that you can effortlessly shred up and down the neck.
