A limited-edition Custom Shop model that's no-frills elegant with a nasty TV Jones humbucker.
Many of the greatest tones of rock and roll, rockabilly, and country have been recorded on a solid body guitar with a single bridge pickup”like La Caronita Especial. The sonic purity delivered by a single pickup guitar is due to the absence of the second set of magnets from a second pickup. This magnetic pull influences the arc of the strings and alters the guita'rs tone. At its root, every electric guitar is first-and-foremost an acoustic instrument. With select woods and Fender Custom Shop quality, the Cabronitas Especial translates into a brilliant, colossal electrified guitar sound!
The Fender Carbronita Especial has the soul of a guitar made fifty years ago with vintage details like a 25.5" scale single-cutaway and the Telecaster body style. La Cabronita is crafted from select lightweight alder with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, a one-piece quartersawn maple neck with a large "C" shaped profile, a bone nut, and a 21-fret maple fingerboard with a 9.5" radius. Hardware includes Sperzel die-cast tuning machines with white pearloid buttons and a deluxe chromed brass bridge plate with solid stainless steel saddles.
The no-frills La Cabronita Especial guitar is armed with a single TV Jones PowerTron pickup in the bridge position for a full, open, throaty humbucking bite. A Greasebucket Tone control circuit rolls off highs without adding additional bass for more precise control of your sound.
The Fender Custom Shop Relic finish adds character by simulating the natural wear and tear of years of heavy use: nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts. Only two of these unbridled rock and roll machines were produced in Fender Teal Green Metallic”for the NAMM show. Fender includes a hardshell case, strap, straplocks, cable, polishing cloth, and a custom shop Certificate of Authenticity with each La Cabronita Especial electric guitar.
