2023 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom NOS Partscaster w/ Lindy Fralin Blues Specials, Case
2023 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom NOS Partscaster w/ Lindy Fralin Blues Specials, Case
Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck capped by a slab rosewood fretboard (compound 7.25”-9.5” radius), and this Tele has a clear, balanced acoustic profile. The Lindy Fralin Blues Special single coils have a 5% overwind for punchy, warm tones that tame the top-end harshness that sometimes can plague Teles; the bridge is plenty chewy and twangy, and the neck has a bell-like fullness while staying articulate. This Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom weighs 7lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
