Includes Fender hardshell case.

This started life as a Made-in-Mexico Fender Tele—neck and body pure Fender—then got the full gourmet taco-truck upgrade with high-grade, NOS ingredients. Nothing cheap. Nothing halfway. Just better parts everywhere you look.

Telecasters are legendary, but they’re noisy by nature. A little noise is charming; too much noise ruins a take. So we went on a simple, precise mission: cut the noise by more than half. Here’s how:

First, we shielded the living daylights out of the cavities. Pickguard, neck pocket, bridge cavity, electronics—everything. It now rejects AM/FM chatter so well it might as well be certified against military-grade signal jammers.

Then we called Lindy Fralin and ordered hand-wound single-coil magic—bright, punchy, and built like tiny lightning rods. Look closely and you’ll see why we nicknamed it Toxic Thunder.

The result? A Tele that stays true to its soul but runs whisper-quiet by comparison. Not active-pickup-silent, but easily a 50%+ noise reduction. You can sit in a studio with friends, plugged in, and not reach for a noise suppressor every ten seconds.

A classic, upgraded the right way.

Upgrades:

1. 1. Official Fender Locking Tuners – Because your Tele shouldn’t slip out of tune like your ex slipped out of commitment.
3. 2. Full Shielding Job – Cavity and pickguard. Say goodbye to buzzes, hums, and “is that my amp or the fridge?” moments. Your tone stays clean, crisp, and full of mojo.
5. 3. Official Schaller Strap Locks (Black Chrome S-Locks) – Rock out without fear. Your strap’s not going anywhere unless you say so.
