A wonderfully crafted reproduction of the Telecaster from the golden era of Fender’s past, this guitar is a perfect combination of this period’s appointments.

Tele players, much like other electric players to fair, are a particular lot. Each Tele devotee is looking for that specific 'thing' that their ideal Tele does. Maybe it can never be twangy enough. Perhaps it's a favorite neck profile. Ideal weight. Ash vs Alder.

For our money? This '63 Custom Shop embodies everything we love in a great Telecaster...

There's a certain tonal quality we love where the bridge pickup has more midrange and kind of gets into P90 territory - no ice pick trebles. The neck pickup has a great, hollow Strat-like quality and balances really well with the bridge pickup...

The neck is beautifully aged and has a super comfy oval C carve with big(ish) 6105 frets. Single notes are snappy and responsive...the guitar is loud and sustains / resonates well without an amp...

Does this sound like your ideal Tele too? This is a great guitar, no two ways about it. And let's be real, Lake Placid Blue paired with a rosewood board looks incredible.
