Master Design '50s Twisted Tele Light Relic LTD

The Fender Custom Shop expands its Master-built selections with this Limited Edition '50s Twisted Tele, team-built under the direction of Senior Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov.

The Twisted Tele features a 2-piece premium ash body with a vintage white nitrocellulose lacquer finish given a Light Relic treatment--the finish shows natural wear from years of light use, with a few nicks, worn finish, oxidized hardware, and aged plastic parts. The body is fitted with a C-shape flamed maple neck (that is perfectly straight) with a luxurious vintage tint and a 7-1/4" radius maple fretboard. The pickups include a hot-rodded Twisted Tele single-coil neck position pickup (from which it gets its name) and a '63 Custom single-coil in the bridge position. For an especially distinctive touch, the guitar is fitted with a B-6 Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. The guitar comes with a custom hardshell case, strap, cable, and special Custom Shop certificate. Also included is a deluxe leather binder containing a bio of Master Builder Shishkov, reproductions of his notes made during the project, and a DVD interview discussing the challenges he met in building these instruments and his inspirations.
