The Fender Custom 1961 Telecaster flawlessly captures the raw and rebellious spirit of the '60s. Sporting a gorgeous Relic finish treatment, this guitar looks like a genuine '60s Tele that's seen its fair share of stage time. Plus, its Aged Lake Placid Blue finish is jaw-droppingly gorgeous - seriously, once you uncase this beauty, you'll never want to put it back. Oh, and its hand-wound pickups? They deliver a bright, twangin' tone so sweet you'll be taken right back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll.
Starting with a 2-piece alder body, the Fender Custom 1961 Telecaster delivers a rich, snappy tone with exceptional sustain. Its sound is further enhanced by its hand-wound Custom Shop pickups. With a Twisted Tele single-coil in the neck position and an OBG pickup in the bridge, this guitar can dish out anything from a dark, warm howl to a hot, biting snarl. And thanks to its Grease Bucket tone circuit, players can roll off the high-end without muddying their signal.
Guitarists will love shreddin' on the Fender Custom 1961 Telecaster, thanks to its speedy '60s Oval "C" shaped quartersawn maple neck. They'll also appreciate its smooth AAA rosewood fingerboard, 21 narrow-tall frets, and premium hardware, all of which contribute to its incredible playability and charming vintage feel.
