Description
Crafted by Master Builder David Brown, this one-of-a-kind Fender Custom Shop Telecaster blends deep vintage character with a uniquely refined voice. Whether you're a seasoned Tele devotee or a collector chasing a standout Custom Shop piece, this guitar offers a rare fusion of old-school vibe and boutique craftsmanship. Finished in a warm, Hand-Stained Medium Brown, it radiates organic elegance, allowing the natural grain and flame of the top to take center stage.
Built on a chambered Eastern White Pine body, this Tele is incredibly lightweight and resonant; the AAA flame maple top adds just the right amount of snap and shimmer to the tone. It's finished in a thin-skin NOS nitrocellulose lacquer that feels alive in your hands and will wear in beautifully over time. Tortoise binding around the body subtly elevates the aesthetic, complementing the earthy stain with a vintage flourish. A set of hand-wound '63 Tele pickups gives this guitar its voice-rich in character, touch-sensitive, and perfectly balanced across clean and driven tones. With modern Tele wiring and a 3-way blade switch, the control layout stays classic and intuitive.
The quartersawn maple neck is shaped to a '60s-style Oval "C" profile-comfortable, familiar, and substantial enough for expressive chord work or dynamic lead playing. Paired with an ebony fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, and a 9.5" radius, this Tele is fast, smooth, and precise under your fingers. The bone nut and staggered Ping tuners provide rock-solid tuning and long-term reliability, while the vintage-style Tele bridge delivers great sustain and a familiar feel.
Visually, this guitar feels timeless. The Hand-Stained Medium Brown finish brings out the depth of the AAA flame maple top, while the tortoise binding adds a dash of classic style. White micarta dot inlays and a parchment '60s-style pickguard round out the look with understated elegance.
This David Brown Masterbuilt Telecaster captures everything we love about Fender's top-tier Custom Shop work: tone, feel, and soul-all in perfect balance. At Cream City Music, we see a lot of special guitars, but this one truly stands out as something exceptional; it's an inspiring piece ready for a lifetime of music.
