Overview

Distinctive style and versatile tone.

The Limited Edition Tele Caballo Tono presents a fresh take on Fender’s original workhorse tone machine. Its name translates to “Tone Horse Tele,” and there is indeed a great deal of horsepower here, courtesy of a TV Jones Classic neck pickup, a hand-wound Texas Special Tele bridge pickup and a Greasebucket tone circuit, which rolls off highs without reducing gain. It’s a dark horse too, with a Aged Lake Placid Blue lacquer finish on its lightweight alder body and the aged-and-worn Relic treatment to impart the look of authentic wear and tear.

Other premium features include a 1-piece quartersawn maple neck with a highly worn heavy-Relic treatment, 9.5 in.-radius with 21 narrow jumbo frets, distinctive Cabronita pickguard and reverse control plate (pickup switch placed behind control knobs), rock-solid Custom Shop RSD bridge, Sperzel tuning machines with pearl buttons, and Schaller strap locks. Black Limited Edition case included.
