Limited-Edition Violinmaster Telecaster Relic Electric Guitar

The Fender Violinmaster Telecaster is a limited-edition electric guitar that authentically captures the essence of the rare 300-year-old "Gibson-Huberman" Stradivarius violin. Crafted by principal Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, this unique guitar mimics the look, feel and tone of Antonio Stradivari's 1713 violin masterpiece. With a carved spruce top and hollow flame maple body, the Violinmaster Telecaster produces impressive violin-like resonance. Its oval C-shaped flame maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability reminiscent of a fine violin. The Violinmaster Tele lets you shape your tone with a custom floating bridge with interchangeable saddles. It also features three piezo and two Thunderblade pickups that blend acoustic and electric tones for versatility. This extraordinary relic guitar will inspire any player with its historic Stradivarius vibe.

Authentic Violin Materials Create Resonant Tone

Just as Antonio Stradivari hand-selected the finest woods for his violins over 300 years ago, Fender crafted the Violinmaster Telecaster's body and neck from premium resonant woods. The carved solid spruce top comes from northern Italy's Fiemme Valley, the same region Stradivari sourced his spruce. This light, strong wood vibrates freely to produce bright, projecting tones. The hollow flame maple body originates from Bosnia, providing a beautifully figured look with balanced warmth. Together, these violin-like woods generate impressive resonance and sustain.

Play with Ease Thanks to a Violin-Inspired Neck

When playing the Violinmaster Tele, you'll appreciate the smooth feel of its flame maple neck with an oval C profile. This comfortable shape and premium wood emulate the neck of a fine violin for great playability. The fingerboard is made of rich ebony, the preferred fingerboard material for violins. Its smoothness and hardness feel familiar under your fingers. The 9.5" radius adds a hint of modern playability. Overall, the neck design provides seamless transitions between violin and guitar playing.

Dial in Your Tone with Interchangeable Bridge Saddles

A unique feature of the Violinmaster Tele is its custom floating bridge with interchangeable saddles. The bridge allows height adjustment just like a violin. The swappable saddles come in different materials, including bone, brass, graphite and more. Exchanging saddles provides simple tone-shaping by altering the resonance and sustain. You get the versatility to match the bridge to your playing style or the needs of a particular song or solo. It's an innovative way this guitar embodies violin tone-crafting principles.

Find Your Voice with Hybrid Pickups

This guitar's three piezo pickups and two Thunderblade pickups allow blending of acoustic and electric tones. The piezos authentically convey the Violinmaster's hollowbody resonance. Pair them with the Thunderblades for crystalline top-end and fluid sustain. A three-way switch provides quick pickup selection. Tone controls and a volume knob offer additional shaping of the piezo and Thunderblade combinations. Whether you want to replicate a Stradivarius or forge your own sound, this hybrid pickup system is very versatile.
