Premium Tonewoods – Utilising the classic Fender wood combination of an Alder body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, this Tele offers the renowned tonal balance and resonant sustain that vintage Fender’s are famed for.

Texas Special Tele

Like the esteemed Texas Special Stratocaster pickups, the Texas Special Tele pickups are built to offer an overwound, fiery hot vintage-styled Tele tone that rips! Made using vintage-accurate Alnico V magnets in conjunction with black fibre bobbins, enamel-coated wire and a copper-plated steel bridge pickup plate these pickups are well-balanced with a powerful mid-range and articulate Tele twang. These cutting pickups cut through any mix in a musical way without sounding shrill or overbearing and produce a rich and harmonic sustain that responds well to dynamic playing styles.

Fender Custom Shop

The Fender Dream Factory… Fender’s best luthiers, using the best materials and tools all under one roof with the single unified mission of building the best guitars that Fender has ever produced. Founded in 1987 the Custom Shop was established to take Fender’s manufacturing back to its roots with smaller production numbers and higher quality. Famed for pushing Leo’s designs to their absolute limits, the Custom Shop is the benchmark to which all other Fender electric guitars are compared to!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Telecaster

The Telecaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, first introduced by Fender in the early 1950s. Known for its simple design, solid body, and distinctive twang, it became the go-to instrument for country, rock, blues, and punk players alike. Its two single-coil pickups deliver bright, cutting tones with great clarity, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead work. The Tele’s bolt-on neck, smooth playability, and rugged build have helped it remain a timeless classic — a true workhorse guitar that’s still inspiring musicians over 70 years after its debut.
