Model Overview:
Combining a two piece Ash body and a 1 Piece AA Birdseye Maple neck, this Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Telecaster aims to bring modern playability and features to a tried and tested, workhorse classic. This telecaster is finished in a Lush Closet Classic finish which hasn't any immediately noticeable playing wear but does show some signs of it's age, dulling of parts and finish and very minor scratches.
The 1963 C profile neck is a very traditional and comfortable feeling profile, however paired with the 9.5-12 compound radius fingerboard with 6105 frets gives a very modern feel under the fingers, particulary towards the treble end of the neck. Further, the pickup selection on this Telecaster is a more modern take on Telecaster tones; A Custom Shop Hand-Wound "Red Hot" Single-Coil Tele in the neck paired with a Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special run to a three way selector switch which is topped off with Fender's Greasebucket Tone Circuit which retains volume when you roll back the tone control.
Includes a Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
