This guitar is for sale to UK buyers ONLY

Here for sale we have an absolutely magnificent Fender Custom Shop '60 Telecaster Custom Lush Closet Classic in 3-Tone Sunburst Lush Closet Classic finish. Crafted in the USA by Fenders' finest luthiers in 2018, this guitar is based on the 1960 Telecaster Custom specification, and has been aged to the 'Lush Closet Classic' standard. This offers a vintage appeal, showcasing moderate finish checking, hardware oxidation and mild discoloration to represent a well-taken care of original '60s instrument. 

Naturally, a bolt-on construction is employed, and comprises a double bound Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret 'AAA' Rosewood fingerboard. Nickel/Chrome hardware is fitted including a '63 'Ashtray' Telecaster bridge and vintage split-post sealed tuning machines. A pair of Custom Shop  '63 Telecaster single-coil pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way blade switch, master volume and master tone. Other appointments include a 3-ply Mint Green pickguard, Medium Jumbo frets and a Chrome 'Ashtray' bridge cover. 

The Maple neck plays fantastically, with the '60s Style Oval 'C' shape feeling slightly more substantial than Fender's modern necks without being at all cumbersome. Certainly, the neck profile is supremely comfortable - well suited to both chording and articulate lead lines. The 'AAA' Rosewood fingerboard is exceptionally luxurious under the fingers, with a deep dark colour and tight grain that provides a smooth and durable playing surface right the way up the register. The 9.5" radius is as practical as ever, whilst the modern refinement of Medium Jumbo frets enhances the feel of string bending and vibrato techniques. 

Amplified, the pair of Custom Shop '63 Telecaster single-coil pickups deliver beautifully clear and precise tones that are quintessential Telecaster whilst also providing some Custom Shop refinement. The neck pickup is warm and round, with plenty of power for driving your solo tones to the front of the mix. The bridge pickup is always the main event in a Telecaster, and this particular one does not disappoint. Plenty of bright Telecaster 'Twang' is present, and with a nice high output, the pickup can push your amp into a gritty and raw distortion. The controls are nice and responsive, allowing you to dial in your perfect sound right on the guitar. An absolute beauty of a Telecaster that exemplifies why the Fender Custom Shop is the cream of the crop.
