By the late 1950s, the Telecaster had firmly established its reputation as the premier workhorse guitar, but for the player seeking a guitar with the versatility of a Tele and a more distinct personality, the choices were few and far between. Enter the Telecaster Custom, which debuted in 1959, sporting an elegant double-bound body and alluring rosewood fingerboard – both firsts for the Telecaster. The Vintage Custom 1959 Telecaster Custom boasts the same refined look as the original, along with some rare and compelling features from the Tele's formative years that we felt modern players and vintage tone hounds alike would appreciate - most notably a Super Heavy Relic to amplify the Chocolate three-color sunburst.
It comes equipped with hand-wound Twisted Tele single coil at the neck and an "OBG" or Original Blackguard at the bridge. The neck is a AA tinted maple '59 Large "C" with a AAA rosewood fingerboard and a 9.5" - 12" compound radius It also features Narrow Tall frets with Micarta white face and side dots. Vintage tuning machines take you from the striking headstock across a 3-ply pickguard to the Telecaster 58-63 bridge.
If you're looking for a Tele that sounds every ounce as cool as it looks, this may just be the one.
Comes with original Fender Custom Shop hard shell case in brown, as well as a Custom Shop strap, certificate of authenticity, Shop Floor Traveler and "ashtray" bridge cover.
