Up for sale, a 2023 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom NOS Partscaster in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with a G&G tweed case. Combining a separately sourced Custom Shop body and neck, this Telecaster Custom seamlessly blends the hallmarks of golden age Fender design with modern touches for the ultimate in performance and playability. Features include an upgraded pair of Lindy Fralin Blues Special pickups and a gloss NOS nitro lacquer Chocolate Three-Tone Sunburst finish.
Tonewoods include an alder body and a maple neck capped by a slab rosewood fretboard (compound 7.25”-9.5” radius), and this Tele has a clear, balanced acoustic profile. The Lindy Fralin Blues Special single coils have a 5% overwind for punchy, warm tones that tame the top-end harshness that sometimes can plague Teles; the bridge is plenty chewy and twangy, and the neck has a bell-like fullness while staying articulate. This Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Custom weighs 7lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
