In this faithful recreation, the Fender Custom Shop has captured the tone, playability, look and feel of this archetypal model in a super cool custom colors — Faded Aged Copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-piece select ash body wears a heavy checked nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and the tinted one-piece rift-sawn maple neck features a chunky ’54 “U” profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall frets.  Even though this guitar is a Journeyman Relic, we chose to have the neck given the Heavy Relic treatment, for a fully broken in feel.  This is our personal favorite combination on Custom Shop guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Handwound 55\/56 pickups give it the vintage Tele tone that is beloved by Tele players everywhere.  \u003cspan\u003eThe bridge pickup provides punchy mids and hot highs for that classic Tele twang, with staggered pole pieces to even out the inter-string response.  The neck neck pickup provides a warm and creamy tone.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Tele also features the \"Fat ‘50s Tele\" wiring setup.  This is achieved by connecting the tone pot to the output of the volume pot (middle lug) instead of the input.  Many late fifties guitars of all brands were wired this way, but it can be done with any guitar. This will have two major effects on the tone:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the overall tone gets stronger with more transparent bloom.  Second, the typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less, and both the volume and tone controls react more smoothly and more evenly, without the typical hot spots. As a side effect, it’s easier to clean up an overdriven amp by simply rolling back the volume on the guitar a bit. Many of the Fender Master Builders prefer this hook up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, ’55 Tele bridge with smooth barrel steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and disk string tree.
