About this listing
This Tele looks like it spent the last 70 years doing exactly what many of us aspire to do: absolutely nothing strenuous.😄 Fender’s Custom Shop took a ’54 Tele recipe, gave it a gorgeous Faded Nocaster Blonde lacquer finish, added just enough Closet Classic checking and aging to convince your buddies you discovered it behind Grandpa’s winter coats, and somehow managed to do it without the vintage price tag requiring a second mortgage.And underneath all that beautifully convincing old-guitar attitude is one heck of a Tele: lightweight ash body, chunky 1954 “U” maple neck, compound-radius maple fingerboard and a pair of Hand-Wound Loaded ’51 Nocaster pickups. In other words, it looks old, feels old, sounds appropriately rude…and thankfully nobody actually spent 70 years spilling beer on it.SpecsModel: Custom Shop ’54 Telecaster Closet ClassicCollection: 2024 Collection Time MachineFinish: Faded Nocaster Blonde Lacquer – Closet ClassicBody: 2-Piece Off-Center Guitar AshBody Style: ’52 TelePickguard: ’51 Nocaster BlackNeck: Rift-Sawn MapleNeck Finish: Medium Tint Nitrocellulose LacquerNeck Profile: 1954 “U” – .940" 1st Fret / .970" 12th FretFingerboard: MapleFingerboard Radius: 7.25"–9.50" Compound RadiusFrets: 21 Medium Vintage / 47095Nut: BoneNut Width: 1.625"Fretboard Width: 2.200"Inlays: Micarta Black DotSide Dots: Micarta Black 3/32"Neck Pickup: Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Loaded ’51 NocasterBridge Pickup: Fender Custom Shop Hand-Wound Loaded ’51 NocasterControls: Master Volume & Master ToneSwitching: 3-Way SelectorBridge: Vintage ’51–’54 Tele BridgeTuners: Vintage FenderHardware: Chrome/NickelWeight: 7.0 LBSSerial #: R137296Condition & Included ItemsBorn on July 12th, 2024, this Tele is in excellent Closet Classic condition. Of course, explaining the condition of a Closet Classic is always entertaining: “Yes, there are finish checks. Yes, there’s wear. Yes, Fender put it there. No, I’m not giving you $800 off because you found one.” 😂 There is a small area of finish wear/chipping near the neck pocket as pictured, along with the intentional checking, aging and wear associated with Fender’s Closet Classic treatment. The black pickguard also shows pick-scratches.Included is the original Fender Custom Shop tweed hardshell case, case candy, and the Fender Custom Shop leather portfolio containing the Certificate of Authenticity and original Shop Floor Traveler.It’s a killer ’54-style Tele that gives you the look and feel of a guitar that survived Eisenhower, Elvis, Woodstock and disco — without requiring you to explain to your wife why there’s suddenly a $40,000 charge on the credit card.Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!LET'S GO!!WHILE YOU ARE HERE, GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS!!Me- I have a 100% positive feedback rating, and intend to keep it that way!
