Used Fender Custom Shop 1962 Telecaster Custom Closet Classic Oxblood with OHSC

The Rusty Tele
Of all of the Custom Shop Tele's that have come through here, there is one that has special status here at Truetone: '62 Tele Custom in Oxblood.
Before we tell you all about it, here's the scoop on this particular guitar: it was sold as new guitar just recently, then traded back in for an acoustic. He's a regular customer that keeps all of his gear super clean and only played this guitar a few times. So, this Fender Custom Shop Tele is immaculate condition, comes with its original hardshell case and Certificate of Authencity, and been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. Now it's available on a great deal.
Originally designed by a long-time Truetone team member Rusty for stock, he ended up loving it so much that he bought it for himself! Over the years, as Rusty would play his guitar on stage around L.A., others would see and inquire about it. A tweaked version was custom ordered, and it has since become a regular part of the rotation in our Custom Shop offering. As a side note, Rusty was in sales for over a decade but during the pandemic he shifted to being our in-house photographer. So, the excellent photos you see here are his work!
