A stunning Custom Shop "Custom Deluxe" Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue with beautifully figured bird's-eye maple neck. For me this is the best looking Tele I've ever seen. This was Fender building a CS tele with features that should appeal to modern players.It has a great playing chunky neck. Schaller locking and staggered tuners. Upgraded modern bridge assembly. 22 tall frets that make bending a breeze.According to original spec the pickup config at the bridge should be a Custom Shop Hot Nocaster , and at the neck the Twisted Tele. It has a factory fitted 4-position pickup switch. It does have a few dings, but really they are not very noticeable when playing the guitar. I've tried to emphasise them as much as I can in the pics. Local collection from London Canary Wharf area - E14, so if you buy it, you can check it out before completing purchase.

The Fender Telecaster, known affectionately as the "Tele," emerged as the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar, marking a significant milestone in music history. Its straightforward design and innovative sound paved the way for new trends in electric guitar manufacturing and popular music. Since its debut in the 1950s, the Telecaster has been celebrated for its versatility, serving artists across genres from country to jazz, rock, and beyond. Its solid construction, characterized by a single-cutaway body made typically from alder or ash and a bolt-on maple neck, contributes to its distinct, bright, and cutting tone as well as a warm, mellow sound depending on pickup selection. With minor modifications over the years, the Telecaster has remained largely faithful to its original design, featuring two single-coil pickups, a three-way selector switch, and simple volume and tone controls. This enduring design has kept the Telecaster relevant and in continuous production, solidifying its status as a beloved icon in the guitar world.
