Description

Offered is this gorgeous '59 Custom Telecaster built in the Fender Custom Shop and completed just last month (March, 2020). With its double bound body and three tone "chocolate" sunburst finish, this is one of the most beautiful electric guitars made to my eye.

This guitar has a two piece Alder body with a nitrocelluslose lacquer finish and total guitar weight of just 7 pounds, 3 ounces. It has been given Fender's 'Time Capsule' finish treatment in which the nitro is not fully buffed giving it a slightly "vintage" look and feel, but without any other evidence of aging. The hardware is given 'Closet Classic' aging to be consistent with the body finish.

Other vitals include a (relatively) large C-shaped neck with depth measurements of .850" at the 1st fret increasing to .950" a12th. The lovely dark Rosewood fingerboard has a compound radius of .725" to .950" making for both comfortable chording and easy string bends. The fret wire is Jescar 47095 with dimensions of .095 x .047. It has a 1.650" bone nut and clay dot inlays. The electronics include two hand wound '58 Tele single coils with modern wiring.

This Tele almost plays itself and the tone is even better. The bridge position tone is classic Tele twang without being piercing and the neck and middle pickup positions are particularly rich sounding. Please check out the brief sound sample provided.

This guitar is in near mint condition and could pass for new, frets included. It comes in it's original brown G&G case, also in as new condition, along with the certificate of authenticity and all the original accessories.

Save yourself about a thousand bucks versus the cost of a new one with this as new 2020 Tele Custom. One of my favorite electrics; make this beauty yours!
