Candy Old Guitars are pieces inspired by instruments from Fender's golden age, featuring vintage-inspired woods, finishes, and components.
This 50s-style Telecaster, weighing just 3.3 kg, is made using materials, components, and manufacturing methods most similar to those used on the original models of the 1950s.
Highlights:
- Custom '53 Telecaster-style pickups wound with original NOS wire from the era
- Custom Burns potentiometers with a vintage-style closure profile
- Original NOS '50s paper oil tone capacitor
- Blackguard Bakelite pickguard with thin nitro skin
- Selected lightweight ash body
This model also features a few modifications for improved playability without sacrificing vintage feel, tone, and aesthetics, such as a 9.5" radius and jumbo frets.
If you're looking for authentic vintage tones and aesthetics, few instruments can offer such an experience as Candy guitars!
