Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top Load Telecaster, Journeyman Relic, Faded Surf Green

Get your Fender Custom Shop Guitar from Humbucker Music, an authorized FCS Showcase dealer with over 100 Fender Custom Shop guitars for sale at all times In 1958 Fender modified the design of the venerable Telecaster, switching from a string-through-body bridge to a top-loading bridge. A flexible guitar with authentic Fender tone, the ’58 Telecaster lets you choose either stringing method, courtesy of the Top-Load Tele bridge with period-accurate threaded steel saddles. The two-piece select ash body wears a nitro lacquer finish and the tinted quartersawn maple with 9.5" radius fills the hand comfortably. 21 narrow tall frets offer a familiar playing feel with smooth bends. The pair of Hand-Wound ’58 Tele single-coil pickups are packed with authentic twang and growl, tied together with vintage-style wiring. For those who want more modern tone, we included a Fat ‘50s Tele wiring and control assembly in the case. Other features include 3-way switch, 1-ply Parchment pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
