Description
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster NOS celebrates three quarters of a century of the world's most influential solidbody electric guitar with a build that feels both deeply rooted in Fender history and distinctly Custom Shop. Combining premium materials, period-inspired design, and exclusive anniversary appointments, this limited-edition Telecaster honors the instrument that helped shape modern music while offering the refinement and craftsmanship expected from Fender's finest builders.
At the heart of this anniversary model is a lightweight roasted ash body capped with a stunning figured walnut top. The combination delivers exceptional resonance, clarity, and dynamic response while creating a visual presentation that immediately sets this guitar apart from traditional Telecaster designs. Finished in a natural NOS treatment, the figured walnut top takes center stage, showcasing the wood's rich grain patterns and organic beauty without the distraction of heavy relic work or bold color finishes.
The voice of this Telecaster comes from a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Blackguard-inspired pickups. A Hand-Wound Original Blackguard bridge pickup delivers the snap, bite, and unmistakable twang that made the Telecaster famous, while the Hand-Wound '50-'51 Blackguard neck pickup adds warmth, depth, and vintage character. Together they cover everything from classic country and blues to roots rock and modern Americana with remarkable touch sensitivity and articulation.
A beautiful one-piece 3A flame maple neck provides both visual elegance and outstanding playability. The substantial '57 Soft "V" profile captures the feel of Fender's golden-era instruments, while the vintage compound 7.25" to 9.5" fingerboard radius offers a comfortable blend of traditional feel and modern performance. Jescar Vintage frets, a bone nut, and vintage-style heel-adjust truss rod complete the authentic playing experience, while the roasted ash body's natural resonance translates every nuance of your technique.
Visually, this anniversary model feels special from every angle. The figured walnut top pairs perfectly with the black anodized-style pickguard aesthetic, while the flame maple neck adds another layer of sophistication. Vintage-style hardware, RSD saddles, and classic Telecaster appointments reinforce the instrument's heritage while elevating it beyond a standard production model.
For players and collectors alike, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster NOS represents a unique celebration of Fender's most enduring design. Combining Blackguard-inspired tone, exceptional Custom Shop craftsmanship, and premium tonewoods rarely seen on a Telecaster, this is a fitting tribute to 75 years of innovation, simplicity, and timeless musical inspiration.
