The Fender Vintage Custom '58 Top Load Telecaster MN Aged White Blonde #R146298 is based on the traditional Tele specs of the late fifties, but with a few interesting twists. While the body is classically crafted from ash and finished with a Aged White Blonde nitrocellulose finish, the Rift Sawn Maple neck with its distinctive 10/56 V profile offers an unmistakable Tele feel. For the ideal combination of vintage fender feel and modern playing feel, the fretboard has a compound radius that rises from 7.25 to 9.5 inches, and Chords skillfully underlines secure and targeted positional playing. Another special feature is the Vintage top-load bridge, which can be strung either top-load style or through the body. Finally, from a tonal perspective, the Fender Vintage Custom '58 Top Load Telecaster MN Aged White Blonde #R146298 features two hand-wound '58 Tele single coils from the Fender Custom store. By using classic materials and winding techniques, the two single coils come closer to the sound of the late fifties than ever before.
