A custom variation on a classic theme. One of Fender’s greatest guitars now boasts colors and features that could have been seen in 1952 but weren’t. We started with a lightweight ash body, chose one of our most popular neck shapes (the 10/’56), and installed a set of Twisted Tele® pickups. Built with the player in mind, it also has a flatter 9.5” fingerboard radius, taller 6105 frets and the Custom Shop’s most requested wiring and tone-control circuits (three-way switching and Greasebucket™ tone controls), gold hardware and an anodized gold pickguard. Available (for the first time) in three new colors.
