Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brian Fallon ’59 Tele Custom A1010266

Limited run Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem) 59 Tele Custom. We've been allocated one of only 59 to be built worldwide. 

Since breaking through with The Gaslight Anthem’s critically acclaimed record, The ’59 Sound in 2008, singer-songwriter Brian Fallon stands as one of the most respected voices of his generation. From his timeless melodies to perfectly crafted rhythm guitar parts, his Telecaster® plays a pivotal role in his music. Growing up idolizing both Bruce Springsteen and Joe Strummer, Brian’s love for this “working man’s” instrument was undeniable. In his mind, a Telecaster® matches his style—it not only represents his heroes but symbolized the same no-nonsense approach to songwriting and performing he admires.                                                               

                                                               

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brian Fallon ’59 Telecaster® Custom perfectly embodies the balance of raw, powerful resonance with sweet, delicate chime Tele® fans revere. Based on Fallon’s personal #1 Telecaster, the double-bound, lightweight two-piece alder body is elegantly finished in Journeyman Relic® black lacquer and is paired with comfortable rift-sawn ’60-Style Oval “C” maple neck and flat-laminated dark AAA rosewood fingerboard. With all the ideal first-year Telecaster Custom appointments, this guitar captures the nuances collectors and vintage guitar fans love, but there are a few key specs that set this guitar apart from the pack. Loaded with a pair of Righteous Sound “Fourth Man” pickups and Dual Stack HS Tele® wiring, this limited-edition Telecaster® Custom has midrangy snarl and bite from the bridge pickup and warm, clear note definition from the split-coil neck pickup. When in the middle position, both pickups combine to create shimmering, well-balanced tone.
