Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top Loader Telecaster Deluxe (Aged Cherry Sunburst) 6lbs, 06 oz

The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top Loader Telecaster Deluxe Closet Classic delivers authentic late 1950s Telecaster tone and feel from a Custom Shop built instrument finished in Closet Classic aged cherry sunburst. This Custom Shop recreation combines period correct appointments, hand wound electronics, and bridge stringing options so players and creators have a vintage voiced instrument ready for studio, stage, and collection use.

Period Correct Construction and Voice

A two piece select ash body with lacquer finish and Custom Shop hand wound '58 single coil Tele pickups form the tonal core, while '53 to '59 Tele wiring and a 3-way switch let you access classic neck and bridge voices used on many studio recordings. The 1-ply eggshell pickguard, bone nut, and vintage style tuning machines with Fender logo complete the historically accurate specification

Playability, Hardware, and Setup Flexibility

The one piece quartersawn maple neck features a 1957 soft V back shape, a 9.5 inch 241 mm radius, and 21 narrow tall 6105 frets to provide a vintage grip that still supports modern fretting and bending. Hardware includes a three saddle vintage style Tele bridge that accepts top-load or strings-through-body stringing with vintage-style steel saddles for tonal and setup options, plus an American Vintage '56 to '58 string tree.

The instrument ships with a deluxe hardshell case, a strap, and a Certificate of Authenticity so players, session creators, and collectors receive documented provenance and secure transport for stage and studio work
