Hand-wound pickups give you ’50s chime
One of the most important features to the authenticity of a vintage-styled Tele is the pickups. With the Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster you get a set of pickups hand-wound to the same spec as the 1958 classics. Though there are hundreds of variations out there, there’s truly nothing like the sparkle and chime you hear when playing through genuine vintage Telecaster pickups. Take it from the Sweetwater crew – the Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster has the vintage tone you’ve been looking for.
Quartersawn neck gives you ultra-stability and ultra-playability
The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why this Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster solidbody electric guitar features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist or shrink. You’ll also love the playability and feel of this 1959 Telecaster’s contoured heel when you’re playing higher up the fretboard. Down low, you’ll appreciate the vintage 9.5″ radiused rosewood fingerboard that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed fretwork.
Journeyman Relic finish adds character to your axe
If you want your axe to look and feel “broke in,” but without the vintage vibe, you’ll love the Journeyman Relic finish on this Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster solidbody electric guitar. Although it looks as though it has been a well-cared-for, albeit well-loved, member of your guitar collection for years, this Tele nonetheless projects an aura of distinct modernism. Aged, but without the heavy wear-and-tear, this guitar will feel as though you’ve played it for a lifetime!
