Fender Custom Shop LTD 1950s Telecaster Thinline Rosewood Neck Natural/Journeyman

We plugged it into a Carr Rambler (with a little reverb—okay, maybe a lot of reverb), and this Tele knocked us out right away with its throaty growl and sweet, sparkling highs. It’s like the best of both worlds: a little like a P90-equipped solid-body crossed with a classic Tele. Clean tones sound fantastic, but when we cranked up the amp a bit, it pushed into a warm, punchy breakup that had us grinning ear to ear. It’s the kind of sound that might make you forget about your set-neck, mahogany body guitars for a while. Truly impressive - and fun - stuff.
