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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther features include a ‘55\/’57 Tele bridge with steel saddles, a single ply Eggshell White pickguard, Fat 50's Tele wiring, and a rock solid one-piece quartersawn maple neck.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCome to Club Fender to experience it today, or make it yours right here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # CZ574433\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.9 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Journeyman Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Eggshell White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Handwound 55\/56 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Handwound 55\/56 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Ash, Sorted for Lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 10\/56 \"V\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105\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:  .880\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .980\"\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: 55\/57 Tele Esquire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 3 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Fat 50's Tele\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel# 9231011027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31354946715690,"sku":"00FCS139","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/FenLRG_8acd57e2-2dd4-4ebd-ac13-edd34ad5e9ba.jpg?v=1737706814","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1956-telecaster-journeyman-relic-black-transparent","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
