Product Description

In case you hadn’t noticed, this is no ordinary Telecaster. A limited edition model from Fender, the ’72 Telecaster Custom borrows features from its namesake instrument as well as a number of different series’. The result is a hybrid instrument that’s rock ‘n’ roll to its very core.

 Body & Neck

A classic Ash body provides a perfectly-balanced canvas for the SH pickup configuration, with a little bit of scoop in the midrange. The expanded ‘70s-style pickguard plays a huge part in the aesthetics of the instrument – it almost gives the Tele a different shape entirely.

The Maple neck features a familiar C shape neck profile complete with a gloss polyester finish to match the body. Expect a smooth, familiar playability with a luxurious feeling – vintage-style frets add a little old-school edge.

Hardware & Electronics

While the Telecaster is normally synonymous with dual single-coils, the ‘70s variations often featured a humbucker in the neck position. This ’72 specimen is no exception; you get a standard single-coil in the bridge and a Fender ‘Wide Range’ humbucker in the neck for extra dynamic fatness.

The headline feature, however, might just be the combination of 6-saddle bridge and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. Accurate intonation, a touch of tuning stability and heaps of expressive wobble on top – what’s not to love?
