This Fender Limited-Edition ’53 Tele Custom has been heavily aged for a road-worn look. The ’53 Tele is built with a 2-piece ash for body articulation and presence, and paired with a quartersawn flame maple neck for added warmth and sweetness. Topped with a ’51-’54 Tele bridge, this workhorse electric comes equipped with a hand-wound Loaded ’50/’51 Blackguard single coil in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan SH55 humbucker in the neck. A deluxe hardshell case, guitar strap and certificate of authenticity are also included.
