Fender Custom Shop Super Custom Deluxe Telecaster Electric Guitar Sea Foam Sparkle
Description
The Fender Custom Shop 2018 NAMM Limited-Edition Super Custom Deluxe Telecaster captures the spirit of a road-worn classic Tele while incorporating modern refinements for today's players. This premium electric guitar combines time-honored Fender craftsmanship with custom-tailored tones and feel to inspire new musical expression. From its lightweight ash body to its vintage-spec'd hardware, every aspect has been meticulously designed to deliver an exceptionally responsive and resonant playing experience.
Balanced Tone From a Premium Lightweight Body
At the heart of this Tele is a lightweight ash body selected for its balanced tone and lively resonance. You'll hear every nuance of your playing as notes bloom with warmth and sustain. The semi-hollow construction further enhances the body's vibrance and responsiveness to your picking attack and dynamics. Whether strumming chords or digging into leads, this guitar translates the subtleties of your technique into a broad palette of rich, expressive tones.
Handwound "Twisted Tele" Pickups With Classic Grit
To capture that unmistakable Telecaster twang, the Super Custom Deluxe features a set of handwound "Twisted Tele" pickups. The bridge pickup employs a vintage-style stacked coil to serve up searing treble bite and biting mids reminiscent of a classic Tele. An added twist gives it increased output to cut through a dense mix. Meanwhile, the twisted neck pickup offers thick, robust single-coil tones that can go from smooth jazz to crunchy blues. Together, these custom pickups let you channel the magic of vintage Tele tones with a modern edge.
Vintage-Spec Maple Neck With Smooth C Profile
You'll feel right at home on the dark-tinted lacquer roasted 3A flame maple neck. Its vintage-spec '65 C profile sits perfectly in the hand, while the 9.5" radius and 22 tall frets encourage effortless string-bending. The round-laminated dark rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and midrange focus to every note. Whether you're a lifelong Tele enthusiast or a newcomer to the instrument, this neck invites you to dig in and explore the guitar's full expressive range.
Premium Appointments Evoking a Relic's Vibe
Vintage-inspired appointments heighten the Super Custom Deluxe's old-soul appeal. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish, gold hardware and 3-ply parchment pickguard lend a relic'd look that only deepens over time. The bone nut ensures precise intonation and sustain. Even the 3-way switch and controls feel road-worn yet precise. This guitar authentically captures the feel and character of a Tele that's been broken in through years of playing.
