The Fender Custom Shop 59 Telecaster is built using carefully selected, industry standard tonewoods, this instrument provides a glorious natural sound. Every element of a custom shop guitar is carefully selected to ensure playing perfection - and the wood used to build the guitar is one of the most important ingredients in the recipe. It features a two-piece offset seam alder body that holds a magnificent resonance as well as guaranteeing a tonal warmth that excels in the mid-range, at both high and low outputs.
The neck is made from rift sawn maple, delivering a sturdy performance that will withstand even the most intense sessions. It also brings a clarity and brightness to the tone that thrives with a high-end sparkle, perfect for those lead and solo parts. The fingerboard is built using rosewood, which provides a supremely comfortable playing feel that softens the sound and delivers a balanced performance.
The Fender Custom Shop 59 Telecaster is fitted with a three-saddle vintage style Telecaster bridge, which features threaded steel saddles that work with the bone nut and vintage-style tuning pegs to ensure an enhanced tuning stability - so you can say goodbye to re-tuning between every song. What's more, these key components also work together to hold a comfortable and fully adjustable action over the fingerboard - eliminating any strain while playing. The neck itself is finished with a flash coat lacquer that will allow you to glide between the 21 vintage modified frets with ease, so you can find the right note at the right time - every time.
The Fender Custom Shop 59 Telecaster is representative of everything that has made the Telecaster one of the most beloved guitars ever made over the last 70 years, delivering everything you would expect from a Fender custom shop instrument - and more. The bulk of the tone comes from the two Custom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil pickups, which deliver a vintage voice with unmatched warmth and clarity that is both lively and defined.
For many guitarists out there, you simply can't beat the Telecaster sound - and this is the grandfather of all the Telecasters. It sounds magnificent. Highly responsive to the dynamics of your playing, the tone of this guitar can be moulded to fit your taste through the master tone, master volume and 3-way pickup selector - helping you find your own unique voice.
