This will have two major effects on the tone:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the overall tone gets stronger with more transparent bloom.  Second, the typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less, and both the volume and tone controls react more smoothly and more evenly, without the typical hot spots. As a side effect, it’s easier to clean up an overdriven amp by simply rolling back the volume on the guitar a bit.

it's really about the sound and feel.  The 65 \"C\" neck shape on the rock-sold quartersawn maple is super comfortable and very smooth to play.  It's a bit thicker than many other 60's inspired builds that the Custom Shop does (which typically have the 60's Oval C neck shape).  This great feeling neck is topped with a dark rosewood fretboard with a 9.5\" radius and 6105 frets for easy playability.   Those are the only \"modern spec\" changes we went with - everything else is period correct.  The guitar is loaded with Custom Shop 63 Tele pickups, which recreate the early 60's Tele sound that is known and loved by players all over.  Whether you need country twang, hard hitting rock bottoms or glistening clean highs, this one gives it to you.\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"gmail-item-specs-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"gmail-item-specs-container\"\u003eOther features included are the vintage-style tuners and bridge, period correct deluxe black hardshell case, and Certificate of Authenticity.  The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  Also, this is a light one -

Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster and Jazz bass - all in the same color, as a matching set.  For the colors, we picked unique ones that are rarely ever seen.  In this case, it's Desert Sunset, one of the coolest and most vibrant colors that the Custom Shop offers, and one that is rarely seen.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two-piece alder body sports the iconic shape and wears a Heavy Relic lacquer finish.  This gives it the look and feel of a guitar that’s endured serious use over decades, but stood the test of time and only got cooler with age.   The Custom Shop really went to town on this one, creating a great example of what a Heavy Relic should be.  We were honestly blown away when we opened the case for the first time - not only did they nail it, the result was even more stunning than we expected.  Due to how Desert Sunset is created, this guitar ended up looking like a color over color finish treatment.  Or perhaps it's color over color over color, because you get silver and red appearing.  It's simply unreal.  The guitar has the appearance of a vintage Tele that was played heavily over the years, worn in, and looking better than ever, in a color that you'll never otherwise see.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThis Custom Shop '63 Telecaster is a testament to their ability to pull off vintage recreations with modern playability.  It features a period correct 63 \"C\" neck shape (a bit thicker than the more commonly seen 60's Oval \"C\" neck) a flatter radius and bigger fret size, and a mostly otherwise traditional design.  We went with a 9.5\" radius and Narrow Tall (6105) frets for easy playing and bending -

 This Custom Shop '58 Tele right here might answer that.  And for those that want something truly unique, the finish on this one may seal the deal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat finish is called Surf Green Sparkle Burst.  It's bright, it's vibrant, and it's like nothing like anything you've seen, most likely.  We found the inspiration for this color in an article about an old Jazzmaster, and decide to apply it to a Telecaster.  Not really knowing how it would turn out (after all, this isn't an official color in the Custom Shop's offerings), we were anxiously awaiting this one for quite a while.  When it landed, we took it out of the case and immediately fell speechless.  There's no use in describing it when there are photos to do that job - take a look and you will see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe alder body is lightweight and resonant.  This guitar is a great weight - just 7.4 lbs.  The lacquer finish with heavy checking gives it a classic, old-school Fender vibe.  We chose the Journeyman Relic treatment package, to give it the look \u0026amp; feel of a vintage Tele that has been thoroughly used, but not abused.  To further that idea, and to give it the most \"broken in feel\" we could get, we asked for the finish on the back of the neck to be removed.  We started doing this on a lot of guitars and fell in love with the combination.  Speaking of the neck, the 59 Esquire C shape is becoming more popular, as it's a similar carve to the 60's Oval C seen on so many Custom Shop guitars, but with a little more \"beef\" to it.  If you're a fan of vintage neck shapes but don't want it too fat, this is a great way to go. Throughout the years, most players have gravitated towards a 9.5\" radius and 6105 (narrow tall) frets - so those are the two tweaks that we made on this guitar.  The result is a vintage vibe with modern playability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustom Shop 56\/57 Tele pickups give you full clarity, with enough bite to cut through the mix.  We chose them for this guitar because they are amongst our favorites, and feel that these are some of the Custom Shop's best and \"truest\" vintage sounding pickups.  The 56\/57 Tele pickups have Alnico 5 magnets, with the bridge position providing the twang and neck position supplying a warm and creamy tone.  This is a great combination and perfect for a Tele replicating the sound of that era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther features include an Anodized Gold pickguard, mid-50's Tele style bridge with steel saddles, vintage tuners, and a wing string tree.  It comes with a Custom Shop blonde case, strap and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe spec'ed this one out ourselves, and were super excited when it arrived - the Custom Shop absolutely knocked it out of the park.  We think it's one of the coolest looking Teles we've ever received from them, and we've had a lot.  You can see and hear why for yourself by coming to Truetone Music, or by ordering right here to be shipped to your home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-row gmail-ng-scope\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail-row gmail-ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # 9231015040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R143254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Journeyman Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Surf Green Sparkle Burst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Anodized Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup:  Custom Shop 56\/57 Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Shop 56\/57 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody:  Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: 1 piece Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Remove Finish from Back of Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 59 Esquire \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: Narrow Tall (6105)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret: .790\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: .970\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome\/Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Guide: Vintage Wing Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 54-57 Tele with Steel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 3 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Present Day Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Deluxe Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\" class=\"gmail_signature\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43856578478323,"sku":"00FCS318","price":5300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img37748.jpg?v=1771371770"},{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-truetone-two-tone-telecaster-nos-aztec-gold-with-case","title":"Fender Custom Shop Truetone Two Tone Telecaster NOS Aztec Gold","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTruetone Two Tone Tele\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs a Showcase level dealer for the Fender Custom Shop, we really enjoy coming up with new guitars.  The mix of classic, vintage styles with modern playability is our favorite thing (not just in guitars, but pretty much in life in general).  While that's somewhat common, what we really love is partnering together to create guitars that you don't see out there everyday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's the case with this \"Truetone Two Tone Tele\".  We started with a 1952 Telecaster as the base model, and then altered it to create our own version.  One of the most iconic and popular models in Fender history, the \"Blackguard\" Telecaster has earned its place as an unmistakable tonal force on countless recordings.

front).  The result is actually better than what we imagined.  Tortoiseshell blocks have never been done on a Teambuilt Telecaster, until now.  They also match the tortoiseshell pickguard nicely.  This, along with the Olympic White body, creates an all around beautiful aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe tinted quartersawn maple neck sports a 60's Oval \"C\" shaped profile, which is the most popular for Custom Shop builds.  It's not too fat to play, and not too skinny - it's the perfect amount of wood to grip.  Throughout the years, most players have gravitated towards a 9.5\" radius and 6105 (narrow tall) frets - so those are two tweaks that we made on this guitar.  The result is a vintage vibe with modern playability.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe guitar is loaded with Custom Shop 63 Tele pickups, which recreate the early 60's Tele sound that is known and loved by players all over.  Whether you need country twang, hard hitting rock bottoms or glistening clean highs, this one gives it to you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn addition, this one has a 60's Tele bridge with threaded saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut and a winged string tree.

This will have two major effects on the tone:\u003cbr\u003eFirst, the overall tone gets stronger with more transparent bloom.  Second, the typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less, and both the volume and tone controls react more smoothly and more evenly, without the typical hot spots.

 The wood grain looks great behind the clear finish, and the sparkle is the definition of eye-catching.  The silver anodized pickguard ties it all together, and the Abalone inlays are the perfect finishing touch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Custom Shop '52 Telecaster is a testament to the Custom Shop's ability to pull off vintage recreations with modern playability.  It has a two-piece select ash body that is lightweight, and a solid maple neck with a 52 Style \"U\" neck shape.   We went with a 9.5\" radius and Narrow Tall (6105) frets for easy playing and bending - this is one of the most common and popular modifications to vintage-styled guitars.  Additionally, we did a slightly slimmed down version of the '52 Style \"U\" neck shape, to make it a bit more accessible to more players.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor the pickups, we chose a classic combination, one of the most requested in the Custom Shop.  The bridge pickup is a '51 Nocaster, created with the original design in mind to accurately provide the twang and shimmer of what the first Teles had.  This period correct single coil pickup imparts tight low end and clear, balanced midrange, with a precise top end that can be both smooth and sizzling. The neck position has a Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickup - it gives you classic Tele tone, with added output and a touch of Stratocaster sparkle.  The neck pickup is designed for added brightness and glassiness, whereas the bridge pickup wiring provides twang along with warmer, vintage-style tones. With those 2 pickups combined, this Tele gives you everything you need.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOther features include a Custom Shop-exclusive RSD Tele bridge with compensated saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and a silver anodized pickguard.

it's the sound you get out of a guitar like this that really matters.  The combination of woods gives you a rich and full tone that is also cutting with a nice bite.  It complements the sound of the pickups found in this guitar.  More on that in a moment.  Of course, your eyes will gravitate to the AAA Flame Maple top, which was hand-selected by us on a visit to the Custom Shop in Corona.  We asked for the finish to be transparent, to allow the wood grain to really show.  The result is stunning, especially with parchment binding to frame the body perfectly.  The way it came out is amazing - the Custom Shop nailed it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 59 Large \"C\" neck shape has a real vintage feel and is quite comfortable.  It's not too fat, but it's definitely not skinny.  This guitar has the modern preference of a 9.5\" radius and 6105 frets, making it easy to play.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the pickups, we went for a classic combination.  This Telecaster is equipped with a Custom Shop '51 Nocaster bridge pickup, known for its throaty midrange and bite, and a Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup, known for its crystalline clarity.

He played in local rock bands and by his early 20s he became increasingly interested in experimenting with guitars by modifying pickups and wiring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2009, Andy decided to take this passion for guitar building seriously by enrolling in the Guitar Craft Academy in Hollywood, a 6-month program focused on electric guitars.

From 2013 to 2018, he worked as an assistant to Gretsch Custom Shop Senior Master Builder, Steve Stern. Andy worked with various artists during this period and is very proud of his involvement with the Malcolm Young “Salute” Jet.

Following in his parent’s footsteps, he took up guitar playing at the age of 10 and soon found himself tinkering on it to improve playability and tone. Throughout his teens, Austin developed his building and repair skills and became the local go-to repair tech for many of the bands passing through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter graduating high school in Saskatoon – Austin saved up and enrolled himself at the Guitar Craft Academy in Hollywood to further his skills and passion for guitar building. Recognizing his talents, immediately after completing the course the school offered him a position as one of their teachers. During these 5 years of teaching guitar building, he met Ron Thorn during an inlay seminar, and shortly after was offered a position at Thorn Guitars. For 11 years Austin crafted boutique electric guitars under the Thorn brand. From raw lumber selection, millwork, CNC operation, fretwork, final assembly – Austin did it all and once again is working shoulder to shoulder with his old friend, now crafting Fender’s finest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Austin is not building guitars, he enjoys spending his time with his girlfriend playing music and going camping whenever and wherever he can.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R147463\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel# 9211002556\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Model: 1952 Telecaster Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Heavy Relic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitro Lacquer Flash Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Purple Sparkle over Taos Turquoise Sparkle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Ash (Sort for Lightweight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParchment Binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: 52 U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .860\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .920\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105 Narrow Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Eggshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Josefina Handwound 51 Nocaster\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Josefina Handwound Twisted Tele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Guide: Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Vintage Nocaster with Gatton Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: 3 Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv name=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047221076211,"sku":"00FCS436","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img43285.jpg?v=1778877788"},{"product_id":"fender-custom-shop-limited-edition-bow-tie-telecaster-custom-relic-black-with-ohsc","title":"Pre Owned Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Bow Tie Telecaster Custom Relic Black with OHSC","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/fendercustomshop.jpg?3049666775491753384\" alt=\"Fender Custom Shop\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor something you likely have not seen before, we present the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Bow Tie Telecaster Custom Relic.  This guitar represents the creativity coming out of the Custom Shop in the best of ways.  This is from a small run of limited edition guitars they did, and was just built earlier this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDressed in in Black on the front, with Natural back \u0026amp; sides and tasteful tortoise binding and gold hardware, the Bow Tie Tele Custom is a thrilling reimagining a mid-century masterpiece.  A chambered mahogany body keeps it light, a Bigsby adds expressive vibrato.  The Relic finish gives it the look and feel of a guitar that has seen plenty of time on the road.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roasted quartersawn maple neck features a very comfortable 10\/56 V neck profile, topped with a dark AAA rosewood fretboard that sports a vintage compound radius (7.25 - 9.50\").  This makes it easy to bend as you go higher, especially with the Narrow Tall (6105) frets.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the guitar stands out even more is the pickups chosen for it.  You get a killer\u003cspan\u003e duo of Lollar single-coil pickups: a B.S.
