If your Tele-flavored cup of tea involves lightweight Ash, rift sawn Maple, a hot bridge pickup, and a chunky neck? You've just found your new fave Telecaster.

Weighing in a 7lbs 2oz, this 2 piece Ash bodied Tele feels great in hand. It's paired with a chunky '54 U Carve and hot bridge pickup and when taken together, these specs deliver a really comfy, broken-in, resonant and lively Telecaster.

Tonally, we're talking classic twang and bite and a sweet, slightly warm neck pickup. Tele's like this are right at home in roots/Americana settings, but, like any great Tele, can rock with the best of them with a cranked amp and you're fave overdrive. Jazz more of your thing? Frisell has shown us how well Tele's live in that genre, this guitar is no exception.
