Overview

A Custom Shop Tele that exudes boutique vintage charm.

The Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Telecaster NOS limited-edition electric guitar is a stunning blend of premium craftsmanship, iconic design and modern enhancements. Featuring a lightweight two-piece select ash body treated with a NOS lacquer finish, this guitar delivers vibrant resonance with a classic aesthetic. The quartersawn maple neck boasts a classic '65 C shape and is paired with a dark 3A rosewood round-lam fingerboard for a smooth, fast-playing surface. Outfitted with handwound Twisted Tele pickups and modern Tele wiring, it offers a versatile tonal range perfect for dynamic expression across genres. Combining timeless style with cutting-edge features, the Custom Deluxe Tele is a standout instrument for discerning players.

Handwound Twisted Tele Pickups for Versatile Tone

This limited-edition Telecaster features Fender Custom Shop handwound Twisted Tele pickups, offering a unique tonal blend that bridges the gap between traditional Telecaster twang and Stratocaster warmth. The neck pickup is designed to deliver rich, round tones perfect for smooth leads and melodic runs, while the bridge pickup offers the bright, cutting attack Telecasters are known for. Together, they provide a dynamic tonal palette with enhanced clarity and responsiveness. Paired with modern Tele wiring and a 3-way switch, this setup offers precise control for dialing in tones tailored to your playing style, ensuring every note rings with character and definition.

Quartersawn Maple Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard

The quartersawn maple neck on this Telecaster is crafted for stability and playability, featuring a '65 C shape that feels substantial yet comfortable. Topped with a dark 3A rosewood round-lam fingerboard, this neck provides a smooth, tactile surface for intricate fretting and fluid transitions. The 9.5" radius and 22 narrow tall frets offer a modern playing experience, making string bends and chord changes effortless across the fretboard. This neck construction not only ensures a comfortable grip but also enhances the tonal integrity and sustain of the instrument, offering a responsive and enjoyable playing experience.

Custom Deluxe Tele Bridge for Superior Sustain

The Custom Deluxe Tele bridge is engineered for superior performance and classic tone, featuring a vintage-inspired design with modern refinements for improved stability and sustain. Coupled with Schaller locking tuners, this guitar provides precise tuning adjustments and ensures that the strings remain securely in place under heavy use. The bone nut and American Standard string tree further enhance string alignment and minimize friction, providing consistent tuning stability. With its carefully selected hardware, the Custom Deluxe Telecaster is designed to perform flawlessly in demanding environments, whether in the studio or on stage.

Timeless Aesthetics With NOS Lacquer Finish

Treated with a gorgeous NOS lacquer finish, the Custom Deluxe Telecaster exudes vintage charm while maintaining a pristine, just-out-of-the-shop appearance. The lightweight select ash body enhances resonance and produces a balanced tonal response, while the 3-ply parchment pickguard and bone nut add subtle, classic touches. From the sleek contours of the body to the high-quality materials used throughout, every detail of this limited-edition guitar reflects Fender's dedication to excellence. The NOS finish not only looks stunning but also allows the wood to breathe, contributing to the guitar's vibrant tonal character.
