In this faithful recreation, the Fender Custom Shop has captured the tone, playability, look and feel of a Tele from 1959, in the ultra cool look of Aged White Blonde.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe two-piece select ash body sports a flash coat lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe with more sustain, while wearing in a distinctly personal way.  This thin transparent color really lets the wood grain show nicely.  It's also lightweight, with the guitar coming in at just 7.6 lbs.  The tinted one-piece rift-sawn maple neck features a very comfortable 60's C profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius slab rosewood fretboard 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Handwound 58 pickups give it the vintage Tele tone that is beloved by Tele players everywhere.  The vintage stagger, enamel wiring and Alnico 5 magnets provide a pure vintage tone.  This can give you all of the Tele twang you could ask for, but with the ability to sound smooth \u0026amp; serene, making it a versatile set.  This guitar 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, ’58 - 63 Tele bridge with steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and winged string tree. Also includes a period correct deluxe brown hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you're looking for a classic late-50's style Tele that has a super comfortable neck and classic Tele twang, this is a great choice.  And if you want that in a rare color that is sure to stand out while still being refined, this is the one for you.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it today, or make it yours right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: 7.6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerial # CZ576479\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModel #  9231013286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeries: Time Machine Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor:  Aged White Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish Package: Journeyman Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody: 2-Piece Select Ash, Sort for Light Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Material: Rift Sawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Finish: Flash Coat Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Tint: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Shape: 60's Oval C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrets Size: Narrow Tall (6105)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDepth at 1st Fret: .810\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDepth at 12th Fret: .950\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition Inlays: Micarta White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecal: Vintage 52 - 60 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Text Notes: Heavy Relic Back of Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound 58 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound 58 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWiring: Dual Stack HS Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls: Master Volume, Master Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePickup Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1.
