Black with white binding.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003eThe select alder body is light and will be comfortable to play standing up all night.  The guitar has a very thin lacquer finish to give it authentic feel.  The \"Closet Classic\" treatment creates the look of a guitar that was born in 1961, but then never played, stored in a closet, and pulled out of the case decades later.  We specifically asked for a lot of checking in the finish, but no dings, dents or scratches.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003eThe guitar features a rift sawn, lightly tinted maple neck with a very comfortable 60's Oval \"C\" shape.  It's capped with super, super dark rosewood fretboard (we specifically asked for the darkest piece they could find).  The 7.25 - 9.5\" compound radius is very unique and something Fender just started offering in the Custom Shop a few years ago.  It gives you a an old school vintage feel in the first position with the 7.25\" radius.  It then evolves into a 9.5\" radius as you go up the neck.  That gives you a more modern feel, allowing you to bend to your heart's content without fretting out.  Speaking of frets, we went with 6150 (medium jumbo) frets.  The vintage compound radius and those frets has become one of the most popular spec combinations on Custom Shop guitars, as it's the blend of originality and modern playability.  That's why we picked them for this Tele.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003eHandwound pickups (normally an upcharge) give you the classic early 60's Tele sound - perfect for both clean and dirty sounds.  We went with the classic '63 Tele pickups, as those have proven to be some of the most popular Tele pickups from the custom shop.  They provide a brightness and clarify without getting to \"shrill\", and rolling the tone knob back a bit gives you the ability to get a very warm, darker sound.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003eComes with a Custom Shop branded case, strap and certificate of authenticity. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row ng-scope\" ng-repeat=\"(key,value) in vmSrvInfo.product.selectedSku.specs\" ng-if=\"::value\"\u003eThis is a special Tele -
