Description
For players who demand artistry, precision, and stage-ready versatility in one stunning package, the Fender Custom Shop American Custom Telecaster NOS delivers on all fronts. Dressed in Sapphire Blue Transparent with a shimmering roasted flame maple neck, this Tele is made for the discerning guitarist who wants timeless tone with modern refinement. Whether you're an experienced player chasing boutique-level craftsmanship or a collector drawn to contemporary classics, this guitar embodies what the Custom Shop does best; it bridges the gap between heritage and innovation with effortless style.
This Tele is built around a 2-piece select ash body with an offset seam, topped off with a thin nitro NOS finish that lets the wood breathe and age gracefully over time. The one-piece 3A roasted flame maple neck not only looks incredible but contributes brightness and clarity to the tone. Under the hood, Custom Shop hand-wound Loaded '51 Nocaster pickups deliver that unmistakable Tele twang, with Fat '50s wiring giving you added body and warmth; it's a tonal pairing that thrives in everything from country and blues to rock and indie.
Playability is where this model truly shines. The '57 Soft "V" neck profile offers a vintage feel without sacrificing comfort, and the compound radius fretboard (9.5" to 12") makes bends and chording equally fluid across all 21 jumbo 6100 frets. The contoured heel provides easy access to higher frets, while the compensated RSD brass saddles and bone nut ensure tuning stability and spot-on intonation. Whether you're dialing in precise tones in the studio or relying on rugged reliability on stage, this Tele has you covered.
Visually, the Sapphire Blue Transparent finish paired with a black anodized pickguard creates a bold contrast that's both modern and classy. Every detail, down to the mother-of-pearl dot inlays and white pearloid tuner buttons, adds to the elevated aesthetic. It's a guitar that looks just as serious as it sounds.
The American Custom Telecaster NOS is more than a high-end instrument; it's a player's companion built with soul and purpose. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer guitars like this-where Custom Shop magic meets everyday usability. If you're ready to invest in a lifetime of tone, this one deserves a spot in your hands.
