Limited Edition Brian Fallon '59 Tele Custom

Since breaking through with The Gaslight Anthem’s critically acclaimed record, The ’59 Sound in 2008, singer-songwriter Brian Fallon stands as one of the most respected voices of his generation. From his timeless melodies to perfectly crafted rhythm guitar parts, his Telecaster® plays a pivotal role in his music. Growing up idolizing both Bruce Springsteen and Joe Strummer, Brian’s love for this “working man’s” instrument was undeniable. In his mind, a Telecaster® matches his style—it not only represents his heroes but symbolized the same no-nonsense approach to songwriting and performing he admires. 

This is a new release from the Fender Custom Shop, just announced as a one-time run, and available for pre order today.  It will be fulfilled in the second half of this year.  It is available only to Fender Custom Shop Showcase Dealers - each Showcase dealer is eligible to get only one.  We ordered it immediately and will be receiving one from the first batch.

Only 59 will be built for the whole world, and we are getting one.  Now is the opportunity to secure it.  Once they are gone, that will be it - this will not be repeated.

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brian Fallon ’59 Telecaster® Custom perfectly embodies the balance of raw, powerful resonance with sweet, delicate chime Tele® fans revere. Based on Fallon’s personal #1 Telecaster, the double-bound, lightweight two-piece alder body is elegantly finished in Journeyman Relic® black lacquer and is paired with comfortable rift-sawn ’60-Style Oval “C” maple neck and flat-laminated dark AAA rosewood fingerboard.

With all the ideal first-year Telecaster Custom appointments, this guitar captures the nuances collectors and vintage guitar fans love, but there are a few key specs that set this guitar apart from the pack.

Loaded with a pair of Righteous Sound “Fourth Man” pickups and Dual Stack HS Tele® wiring, this limited-edition Telecaster® Custom has midrangy snarl and bite from the bridge pickup and warm, clear note definition from the split-coil neck pickup. When in the middle position, both pickups combine to create shimmering, well-balanced tone. 

Other premium features include 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 21 vintage upgrade (45085) frets, 3-way switch, 3-ply parchment pickguard, ’63 Telecaster® bridge with RSD Brass Saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, American Vintage ’59-’64 wing string tree, deluxe hardshell case, strap, certificate of authenticity.
