The Fender Custom Shop 2018 NAMM Limited-Edition Super Custom Deluxe Telecaster captures the spirit of a road-worn classic Tele while incorporating modern refinements for today´s players. This premium electric guitar combines time-honored Fender craftsmanship with custom-tailored tones and feel to inspire new musical expression. From its lightweight ash body to its vintage-spec´d hardware, every aspect has been meticulously designed to deliver an exceptionally responsive and resonant playing experience.
Balanced Tone From a Premium Lightweight Body
At the heart of this Tele is a lightweight ash body selected for its balanced tone and lively resonance. You´ll hear every nuance of your playing as notes bloom with warmth and sustain. The semi-hollow construction further enhances the body´s vibrance and responsiveness to your picking attack and dynamics. Whether strumming chords or digging into leads, this guitar translates the subtleties of your technique into a broad palette of rich, expressive tones.
Handwound "Twisted Tele" Pickups With Classic Grit
To capture that unmistakable Telecaster twang, the Super Custom Deluxe features a set of handwound "Twisted Tele" pickups. The bridge pickup employs a vintage-style stacked coil to serve up searing treble bite and biting mids reminiscent of a classic Tele. An added twist gives it increased output to cut through a dense mix. Meanwhile, the twisted neck pickup offers thick, robust single-coil tones that can go from smooth jazz to crunchy blues. Together, these custom pickups let you channel the magic of vintage Tele tones with a modern edge.
Vintage-Spec Maple Neck With Smooth C Profile
You´ll feel right at home on the dark-tinted lacquer roasted 3A flame maple neck. Its vintage-spec ´65 C profile sits perfectly in the hand, while the 9.5" radius and 22 tall frets encourage effortless string-bending. The round-laminated dark rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and midrange focus to every note. Whether you´re a lifelong Tele enthusiast or a newcomer to the instrument, this neck invites you to dig in and explore the guitar´s full expressive range.
Premium Appointments Evoking a Relic´s Vibe
Vintage-inspired appointments heighten the Super Custom Deluxe´s old-soul appeal. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish, gold hardware and 3-ply parchment pickguard lend a relic´d look that only deepens over time. The bone nut ensures precise intonation and sustain. Even the 3-way switch and controls feel road-worn yet precise. This guitar authentically captures the feel and character of a Tele that´s been broken in through years of playing.
