2, or the the bridge pickup in positions 4 \u0026amp; 5.  Also, the master volume has the tone saver bleed function, so you can roll down the volume without losing tone.  All in all, this makes for a seriously versatile guitar.\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWe chose to have this guitar painted in Black Pearl, making it the only one in this color.  That, along with the torstoise shell binding and pickguard, gives the guitar a very unique look.  For added comfort, the back of the body has the \"belly cut\" contour.  Speaking of comfort, the neck is a very comfortable to play 60's Oval C shape, with a little extra meat on it in the first position for easy chord playing.  The 1st fret depth is .850\", and the 12th fret depth is .920\".  A 9.5\" radius and medium jumbo frets ensures you won't fret out, even when bending high on the neck.  It's a roasted flame maple neck, capped with dark rosewood fretboard.  The added twisted here is that the hole neck has been painted, along with the headstock, to match the body.  For one more piece of uniqueness, the guitar has ebony tuner buttons, which is a subtle but classy touch to add on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLevi created a killer guitar that does so much more than your average Tele.  It has a signature look, a ton of options for the sound it can create, and an amazing feel.  Also, this guitar is a great weight, coming in at 7.5 lbs.  It comes with the original hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those that know, a Masterbuilt instrument is like no other, and this is on that level.  Levi Perry's work is incredible, and we look forward to getting more of his guitars in the years to come.  Come to Club Fender at Truetone Music to experience it today, or make it yours right here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R106705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel# 9231013217\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: NOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Roasted AAA Flame Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Note: Painted Neck and Matching Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 60's Oval C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6150 Medium Jumbo\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:  .920\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Schaller F with Ebony Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage 67 Tele with Steel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: R Series F Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Single Ply Tortoise Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Shop Handwound Texas Special Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Custom Shop Handwound Texas Special Strat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup:  Custom Shop Handwound Twisted Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 5 way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Strat Blender, with Tone Saver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 1: Bridge (Bridge\/Neck w\/ Blender)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 2: Bridge \u0026amp;
