Product information

What if you ordered a custom Telecaster but took a decidedly more modern approach to the specs? That’s exactly what this Postmodern Tele delivers.

The hallmarks of this iconic model -versatility, great tones, timeless design - are all here, but with a strong emphasis on player comfort. The result? A slinky playing Tele that's perfect for players looking for a little less "fight" out of their Tele.

The ’60s Oval C neck profile (.79–.93") feels immediately comfortable and is great for a wide range of players, while the compound 9 1/2"–12" fingerboard radius and 6105 frets make bends effortless and smooth. The snappy, lively feel - something we love about maple necks, especially ones like this - invites hours of play.

Thoughtful touches elevate the experience: a flipped control plate for quick, precise volume swells; a reversed bridge pickup that softens the top end while adding extra “zing” to the wound strings; and a contoured neck heel for easy upper-fret access.

Plugged in, the Twisted Tele neck pickup and Crushed Blackguard bridge pickup complement each other beautifully while shining on their own. The bridge offers a slightly pushed, chime-rich tone that’s responsive to right-hand dynamics, while the neck delivers a Strat-like midrange scoop - more usable than your average Tele neck pickup. All told, it’s just great stuff from top to bottom.
