Built on a '90s MIM Telecaster body in Lake Placid Blue with top-loading bridge. The foundation is solid - these bodies are well-regarded for their consistent quality and durability. Upgraded with a Warmoth quarter sawn maple neck and vintage style tuners for classic looks and reliable performance. Pickups are Fender Custom Shop that pair nicely with complementary tone and balanced output.

• Neck: Warmoth Quarter Sawn Maple
• Neck Pickup: Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele (slightly under wound 5.6k) - really clear and open without any of the muddiness that can sometimes happen at the neck.
• Bridge Pickup: Fender Custom Shop Texas Special (a hot 9.98k) - strong midrange and a thick bottom, cuts through mixes.
• Tuners: Fender vintage style
• Body: Mid-90s MIM Poplar

It has a 4-position switch:

1. Bridge only: Texas Special heat and bite

2. Bridge + Neck parallel: Classic Tele jangle

3. Neck only: Clear, bell-like tones

4. Bridge + Neck series: Fat humbucker-like output

The Custom Shop pickups represent a significant upgrade from standard electronics. The Twisted Tele neck pickup delivers the clarity and note separation these pickups are known for. The overwound Texas Special bridge adds output and midrange punch while retaining Tele character. Position 4's series wiring creates a fuller, louder tone useful for heavier styles.

The Warmoth neck elevates the instrument considerably - quarter sawn construction ensures long-term stability while providing smooth, comfortable playability. The neck really is superbly playable and it has been setup by an excellent luthier.

The body has a few dings, but nothing unsightly or structural. They are captured in the photos. The neck is pristine.

A versatile Telecaster that distinctly has the characteristics one looks for in a Telecaster. It handles country, rock, and blues with authority.
