- 2-piece alder body with nitrocellulose relic finish for lively resonance and an authentic sixties look.
- Quartersawn maple neck, C oval profile, rosewood round-lam 9.5" radius fingerboard with 21 6105 frets for precise and comfortable playability.
- Two hand-wound Custom Shop Texas Special pickups, traditional Tele wiring, 3-position selector: from crisp twang to punchy crunches.
- 3-saddle "strings-through-body" bridge and vintage hardware for the sustain and attack characteristic of a mid-60s Tele.
A Telecaster inspired by the mid-1960s
This version pays tribute to the 1964 Telecasters, a key period marked by the rosewood "round-lam" fingerboard and nitro finishes. The Custom Shop preserves the vintage aesthetics and feel while adopting subtle modern adjustments for uncompromised playability.
For which guitarist and styles
Ideal for intermediate to professional musicians seeking an expressive and responsive Tele. Perfect for country, blues, rock, and americana, it also shines in soul and indie thanks to its dynamics and definition across the full spectrum.
The sound
The alder provides balance and singing mids, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the highs for a refined attack. The Texas Special pickups deliver a higher output than a pure vintage set, with tight lows, present mids, and biting highs. The 3-saddle bridge enhances the "snap" and twang, with the nitro finish allowing the wood to vibrate freely. The 9.5" radius and 6105 frets facilitate bends and vibratos without fretting out.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve its personality, favor nickel-plated steel strings 10-46 (original setup). A padded electric guitar gig bag for Tele/Strat type is perfect for light travel in addition to the provided hard case. Add a leather strap compatible with standard strap buttons, a quality 6.35 mm jack cable, and a microfiber cloth for maintaining the nitro finish.
