2011 Fender Deluxe Black Custom Shop Fender Tele
Custom Color. In Person it's Unreal* These New Tele from Fender ARE MY Favorite Guitar's right now!
The pickguard is Green Nitro, pics make it look lighter in color. It is Light weight, like 7.5lbs. Fattest Neck from Fender that I ever had. No Caster U Shape Fat...UNREAL!
Neck Measures 23.86 @ 1st fret, 24.90 @ 12th. IF You can Play, the size is Not A Issue, but a PLus!
But any true Tele fan will tell you there's magic in the pickup configuration. So we didn't mess with the single-coil configuration that delivers that true Tele twang. However, we did reverse the control plate and give it a 4-position blade switch instead of the regular Custom Deluxe Telecaster's 3-position system, to give you even more tonal options. The four positions are as follows: position 1 is bridge, position 2 is bridge and neck (in parallel), position 3 is neck, and position 4 is neck and bridge (in series).
All in all, the Fender Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special is a finely tuned piece of Fender Custom Shop workmanship that's got the best-of-the-best Tele appointments, with a special twist for the true Tele lover. And, of course, as with all Fender Custom Teles, the Fender Custom Deluxe Telecaster Special was painstakingly crafted right here in the USA by one of Fender's finest builders.
