About this listing
How totally awesome is this Limited Edition in every way. From the sound and feel to the looks and features; it's dripping with mojo! And let's start with the essentials; sound. With its ash body, maple fingerboard and Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickups, this Tele has a very thick sound. With a remarkably fat low end and rich mid character, this is a Tele with a growling tone on the bridge pickup. Perhaps not the ultimate twangy country-caster because of this, but really a great rock guitar. The neck pickup has a slightly kinder character with a fresh and creamy tone. A very nice mix of these hand-wound pickups.The one-piece rift sawn maple neck (fingerboard and neck are one piece and so the truss-rod is covered with a skunk stripe) has a solid '57 profile with a very slight V-shape and a pleasant 9.5" radius. This provides a comfortable "chunky" feel but you have to be comfortable with a slightly thicker neck.Bigsby-style tremolos on a Telecaster is often a hit or miss situation. Well, we're happy to tell you that with this one, it is 100% hit! The tremolo is stable, gives no resonance issues and also does not compromise sustain (since the strings are not mounted through the body as is conventionally the case with a Telecaster). Weighing 3.65 kg / 8.04 lbs, this Tele is still very light and balanced.The control plate is reversed so that the volume control is mounted up front and within easy reach. The treble bleed circuit provides a nice response when rolling back the volume control.And last but not least; those killer looks! Aged Ocean Turquoise is probably one of our favorite classic Fender colors, but on this Tele everything is really spot-on; the double binding, the F-branded tremolo, the tinted neck, single-ply pickguard, the subtle Journeyman aged finish...really fantastic.
