Modeled closely on Shiflett’s favorite ’72 Tele Deluxe.

Chris Shiflett has his feet firmly planted in two worlds—with impeccable punk/hard rock credentials as longtime guitarist in the Foo Fighters, and with an authentic love for country, as heard in side project Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants. His abiding love for Telecasters and for huge humbucking sound now comes together in one kickass new instrument with his name on it—the Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe.

Eminently affordable and modeled closely on Shiflett’s favorite ’72 Tele Deluxe, it features a striking Arctic White finish, a four-ply white pearl pickguard, a roaring pair of new custom-designed high-output humbucking pickups, a 12”-radius rosewood fingerboard for easy bends with low action, custom-stenciled hard-shell case, and Shiflett’s signature on the headstock. Tour bus, platinum records and the adulation of millions not included.

Features

  • Modeled after Shiflett’s favorite ’72 Tele Deluxe
  • Alder body with 4-ply white perloid pickguard
  • Rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets
  • New CS1 and CS2 humbucking pickups

    Comments about Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar:

    This guitar is awesome! It has a wonderful sound, the fretboard is just gorgeous with it's multi colored Rosewood, and the woodgrain in the neck is just beautiful. They really need to add a picture of the case it comes with it such a nice case, very well built, black inside and out with Chris's name on the top. My only complaint is the same with all new guitars is the strings, I hate the little "baby" strings they put on it. I think it comes with 9's, I play with 11's or 12's, so after a new set of strings this guitar rocks. Only thing I may do to it is put a bone nut on it.

    Comments about Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar:

    This guitar has a crisp sound and a beutiful tone. As soon as i opened the box I fell in love. Its neck is super playable. The finish is gorgeous. The guitar is light compared to my others. I felt like a better player the first time I plugged this thing in. Everything about it is perfect for me.

      Comments about Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar:

      Great value, great feel and look. Too bad the pickups and pots need to be replaced to improve it's tone. Luckily I had a Seymour Duncan Jazz (neck) and a Seymour Duncan JB (Bridge) laying around. I only had to shell out a few bucks for 500k Ohm pots to replace the 250k ohm pots. 500k ohm pots should always be used with humbuckers unless you want muddy tone. Still a great value when you consider the nice case that's included.
