Overview

New Old Stock features and master craftsmanship.

The Fender Custom Shop '50s Left-Handed Telecaster Electric Guitar is made by the best luthiers in the business and combines a unique selection of features from the '50s into one great guitar for left-handed players.

This '50s Tele has been given Fender's "New Old Stock" (NOS) treatment”built (from original tooling) as if bought new in the '50s and just found today.

The body is ash with a Nocaster blonde lacquer finish offset by a vintage black pickguard. The NOS maple tele neck has a Nocaster U-shape in the back and 9.5" radius for authentic vintage feel and vibe.

True Tele tone is produced via 2 Custom Shop pickups: a NOS Nocaster single-coil at the bridge and a Twisted Tele single-coil at the neck. The pickups can be adjusted with Fender's familiar 3-position switch and master volume and master tone controls.

The Fender Custom Shop '50s Left-Handed Telecaster Electric Guitar is equipped with so many vintage style features, it will be both a dream come true and a dream to play for left-handed connoisseurs.

Since 1987, the Fender Custom Shop has been a "dream factory," producing guitars that are to playing what Ferraris are to driving. The skilled craftsmen in Fender's Corona, Calif., Custom Shop are known worldwide for their artistry in making guitars that range from the fine to the fantastic. Whether it's building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best. Fender's finest is the world's finest.
