If you're looking for a Tele that balances vintage feel with Custom Shop attention to detail, this one delivers. It's a player’s guitar, through and through.

This Custom Shop 1955 Tele, finished in a beautiful Super Aged '55 Desert Tan, is a prime example of what the Fender Custom Shop does best - bringing vintage vibe and modern playability together in a way that’s effortless. The two-piece ash body is light and resonant, with a finish that’s broken in just enough to feel familiar, but never overdone.

The quartersawn maple neck features a comfortable 10/56 V carve (.89-.98") - substantial without being too chunky - and the narrow tall frets (6105) on the maple fingerboard make bends and chord work equally easy.

Plugged in, the hand-wound '55/'56 pickups deliver everything you’d want from a great Tele: clear, snappy highs, round lows, and plenty of that midrange chime. Whether you're leaning into the bridge for biting lead runs or rolling off the tone for something smoother, the tone here is dynamic and inspiring.

Other features include a vintage compound radius (7.25"-9.5"), Fat '50s Tele wiring, a steel saddle bridge, and vintage-style tuners, all packaged in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.
