Fender Custom Shop ‘Bad Brothers’ '59 Telecaster - ‘New Old Stock’ - Sonic Blue
9236900060A member of the very exclusive Bad Brothers club -where we spec out unique guitars ourselves in collaboration with the legendary Fender Custom Shop.
Hand-made, with an attention to detail that the Custom Shop is famous for, it takes the very best of a vintage '59 Tele and marries it with the convenience and sheer playability of a modern instrument. The 2-piece Ash body --now an exclusive feature of the Custom Shop-- is lightweight and incredibly resonant, while the solid Maple neck has the glorious silkiness of the old Esquire "C" shape. A wicked combination of a classic '56/'57 Tele pickup in the bridge and a modern Twisted Tele at the neck mean it's versatile enough for anything you can throw at it, and all with the knowledge that you're playing a truly unique guitar.
Features:
- NOS Finish - "New Old Stock" means it's brand new, back as if you'd bought it back in the 50s or 60s. Imagine time travelling back then and purchasing it - It's made as old style parts/finish but is brand new.
