it's really about the sound and feel.  The 65 \"C\" neck shape on the rock-sold quartersawn maple is super comfortable and very smooth to play.  It's a bit thicker than many other 60's inspired builds that the Custom Shop does (which typically have the 60's Oval C neck shape).  This great feeling neck is topped with a dark rosewood fretboard with a 9.5\" radius and 6105 frets for easy playability.   Those are the only \"modern spec\" changes we went with - everything else is period correct.  The guitar is loaded with Custom Shop 63 Tele pickups, which recreate the early 60's Tele sound that is known and loved by players all over.  Whether you need country twang, hard hitting rock bottoms or glistening clean highs, this one gives it to you.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"gmail-item-specs-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"gmail-item-specs-container\"\u003eOther features included are the vintage-style tuners and bridge, period correct deluxe black hardshell case, and Certificate of Authenticity.  The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  Also, this is a light one -

It's pretty cool to be able to offer this historic guitar with modifications - but to add a whole new aesthetic to it is even more enticing.  The end result is captivating.    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe two-piece ash body wears an NOS (New Old Stock) lacquer finish, without any of the relic work or aging that you normally see.  While we love those guitars, we wanted this one to look like it just came out of the Fender factory yesterday.  The color we chose, Oxblood, is definitely not what you would see on a Tele back in 1952, but that's the fun of this.  You also wouldn't see one with binding on the top like this one has.  What you would see is the single ply black pickguard, which we kept, as well as the ash body.  For this one, we asked for the back \u0026amp; sides not to be painted, so that the beautiful wood grain shows.  So, it's natural there, but Oxblood on top.  Hence the \"Truetone Two Tone Tele\" moniker.   \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAlso, if you're looking for a light Tele, it's going to be hard to beat this one - the guitar weighs just 6.6 lbs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe solid \u0026amp; sturdy maple neck is a force to be reckoned with - it's a Nocaster \"U\" profile, but with a somewhat slimmer feel than normal.  It's still relatively thick while still being comfortable, and plays like a dream.  If you're into super skinny necks this isn't the one for you, but if you like the feel of a vintage Tele with a good amount to grip, this simply can't be beat.  The modern tweak is that it has a 9.5\" radius with 6105 Narrow Tall frets.  This is one of the most popular customizations, for good reason - it makes the guitar easier to play, especially for leads and expressive bending.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOf course it sounds like a truly classic Telecaster, thanks to the Custom Shop 51 Nocaster pickups. Created with the original design in mind to accurately provide the twang and shimmer of what the first Teles had, these period correct single coil pickups impart tight low end and clear, balanced midrange, with a precise top end that can be both smooth and sizzling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther features include a classic early 50's Tele bridge brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and disk string tree.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar comes with the certificate of authenticity, paperwork, bridge cover, strap and Custom Shop tweed case.  Visit Truetone Music to experience it yourself, or order right here to get this guitar shipped to your home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R149684\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # 9231015406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: NOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor:  Oxblood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Single Ply Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop '51 Nocaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup:  Custom Shop '51 Nocaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 2 Piece Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck:  Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Nocaster U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105 Narrow Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret: .850\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: .950\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Guide: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge:  Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck plate: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 3 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel No.: 9231015406\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44776325382387,"sku":"00FCS350","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-DSC_1353.jpg?v=1784847627"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/collections\/fcs-nos-finish-guitars.oembed","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
