Personal Thoughts:
This is a really cool Custom Shop Tele and a nice step away from the more standard blonde and burst territory. The LPB Sparkle finish is the obvious talking point, and on a bound Tele Custom like this it gives the guitar loads of presence without losing that classic Fender feel. The spec is very well judged too. The AAA flame maple neck and Madagascar rosewood slab board already push it into more premium territory, and the compound radius with narrow tall fretwire should make it a very easy guitar to get on with. I also like the Texas Special set here, because it suits the Flamethrower idea well by giving the guitar a bit more punch and heat while still keeping that familiar Tele bite and snap. A very eye-catching and very usable Custom Shop build.

Condition Report:
Mint / as new condition. Overseas import example. Journeyman Relic finish is factory correct as part of the original Custom Shop spec. Presents exceptionally well overall, with no noteworthy wear to mention.
