Key Features

• Heirloom Lacquer Finish – With its subtly chequered patina, Fender’s Nitrocellulose Heirloom Lacquer perfectly demonstrates the elegance and vibe of a true vintage Fender instrument. It perfectly nails the vintage aesthetic while providing an overall more resonant tone and a reassuring assurance often only found in vintage examples.
• TUSQ Nut – Self-lubricating, precision-cut nuts made with tone in mind!
• Versatile S1 Switching – Activate both pickups in Series for thick, powerful humbucker-like tone.
• Luminlay Side Dots – Designed for performance, Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots give you the vital assurance that your hands are in the correct position even before the stage lights go up.

Pure Vintage ’63 Telecaster Pickups

Fender’s Pure Vintage ’63 Telecaster pickups provide unrivalled vintage Tele tones of the mid ‘60s. These authentic reproductions are constructed using all the desirable ingredients: Alnico magnets on period-correct fibre bobbins and wired using cloth wire! They provide the quintessential Tele twang with warm articulate overtones. They’re resonant and chimey with an overall balanced tone and a dynamic range that can only be found in vintage-styled pickups!

Quartersawn Modern D Maple Neck

Quartersawn necks are often regarded as one of the most standout features on some of the most premium and boutique guitars ever built. Not only does quartersawn maple arguably look much more desirable thanks to its characteristic straight grain pattern, but the lumber is also typically 50% more stable than an equivalent plain-sawn piece. The Modern D neck profile features a compound 10”-14” fingerboard radius with stainless steel frets and ‘Ultra’ rolled fingerboard edges. In combination with its satin lacquer finish, it has an effortless feel up and down the neck and offers a solid foundation for every style of music and player.
