A "Custom" Tele Celebrating Fender's Golden Age
Offered as a limited edition in the Vintera III series, this Telecaster Custom faithfully reproduces the early '60s codes: front/back binding, 3-tone sunburst, nickel/chrome hardware, and typical electronics. Made in Mexico, it stands as a carefully crafted and accessible reinterpretation of the historic Teles that defined the sound of country, rock, and soul.
For Whom and Which Styles
Ideal for beginner to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive and inspiring Tele. Its articulation and dynamics make it perfect for country, classic rock, blues, funk, and indie. The "C" neck profile and vintage radius favor precise rhythm playing and singing leads.
Sound
The "1963" single-coils deliver the Tele DNA: bright trebles, punchy mids, and tight lows. The bridge pickup, combined with the 3-saddle threaded bridge, offers incisive twang and a gritty attack, while the neck pickup provides warmth and roundness. The alder body and rosewood fingerboard balance the high end, for natural sustain and excellent definition. The 3-position selector and Volume/Tone controls allow switching from vintage crunch to sparkling cleans in an instant.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a Deluxe gig bag, it gains protection with a Fender molded hardshell case for Tele/Strat (standard size). To preserve the original response, choose Fender 250L .009-.042 strings. A quality strap and a curved capo suited for 7.25" radius fingerboards will perfectly complete the setup.
