A sort for lightweight Ash body is finished in an awesome Faded Aged Nocaster Blonde lacquer, period correct, this finish will wear beautifully with time and develop its own character even further. It also allows the natural resonance of the body to sing and sustain much more effectively compared with other finishes.
The medium tint 2A Quartersawn Flame Maple neck has a smooth, vintage feel. With a 7.25"-9.50" compound radius and 21 6105 frets, the '53 Telecaster features a 1954 "U" profile which measures out at .940" at the 1st fret and .970" at the 12th and has a bone nut of width 1.650"; it feels comfortable and robust, just like a vintage Fender should.
With the Telecaster design considered by many to be the original workhorse guitar, the Custom Shop '53 Telecaster needs a pickup pairing that can deliver the classic Tele' twang. Loaded with a Handwound Original Blackguard in the bridge and a Handwound Twisted Tele in the neck, it certainly delivers tonally.
The original '53 Telecaster's are the stuff of legend, a real collector's piece. The Fender Custom Shop '53 Telecaster, well that's a player's guitar!
