A Mahogany body \u0026amp; neck with a great TV Yellow transparent finish, Rosewood fretboard, and painted Black headstock definitely make this different from pretty much any Tele you'll see out there.  The Merle Haggard Tele style, single-ply tortoise shell pickguard is a nice touch.  The neck is very comfortable, with a Large C neck shape, 9.5\" radius, and jumbo frets.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe combination of Seymour Duncan BG-1400 Stacked Tele bridge pickup and P-90 neck pickup makes for a great pairing that sounds great. The BG-1400 is constructed with two very overwound coils on top of one another that both hand out its thick tone and stays quiet when you’re playing on stage, in the studio, or at home. Alnico 5 magnets are used for added pick attack presence.  The P90 is bright, simultaneously thick, a great tonal blend of single-coil and humbucker characteristics. This gives the guitar a spanky and warm tone, with a good mid-bass response, especially when the volume is rolled off at low levels.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis guitar was purchased new here at Truetone about 10 years ago.  Since then, it has been owned by just one person, who never really played it - he kept it in his climate-controlled home and cared for it deeply.  He recently brought it to us, so now it's available on the market for the first time.  Being one of Dale Wilson's first builds, it's instantly collectible  Plus It's a truly unique guitar - it's not often you would see a Tele with a full Mahogany body and neck, both painted in a TV Yellow transparent finish.  It's perfect for any serious collector of Masterbuilt instruments or just someone who needs a Tele like this.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our repair shop.  It comes with the original hardshell case as well as the Certificate of Authenticity.  Come to Club Fender to see it today, or order right here.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the Masterbuilder:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a driving passion for the California native since childhood. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved guitars,” he said. “I didn’t dream of being a rock star; I dreamed of building the ultimate guitar. I was equally enthralled with the guitars just as much as I was with the players.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWoodworking runs in the Wilson family, and the requisite Custom Shop zeal for outstanding craftsmanship has long been part of Dale’s DNA. He did repair work and mods in a small guitar shop right out of high school in the late 1980s; subsequently moving on to stints at Dobro and Rickenbacker before arriving at Fender, where he worked on Guild, Gretsch and Benedetto guitars before beginning his apprenticeship with various Custom Shop Master Builders.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe enjoys calling upon his extensive and varied experience as a craftsman to create highly distinctive guitars such as the Resophonic Thinline Telecaster®. Wilson also built five beautiful custom guitars for the January 2011 NAMM Show while still an apprentice and was asked to sign the back of the headstocks, garnering him his Master Builder status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerial # CZ518721\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModel#  9231013218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBase Model: 60's Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish Package: Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor: TV Yellow Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Note: Painted Neck (TV Yellow), Painted Headstock (Black),\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Shape: Large C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFretboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFace \u0026amp; Side Dots: Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDot Spacing: Wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFretwire: 6100 Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .875\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .950\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePickguard: Single-Ply Tortoise Shell; Merle Haggard Tele Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Pickup: P-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge Pickup:  Seymour Duncan BG-1400 Stacked Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTuners: Vintage with Cream Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eString Guide: Wingle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge: Vintage 63 Tele with Threaded Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Plate: V Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitch: 3 way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCase: Custom Shop Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41157792694453,"sku":"50FCS016","price":6999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF7400.jpg?v=1657053902","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/used-fender-custom-shop-60s-tele-p90-blonde-electric-guitar","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
