Description
The Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH is a lovingly crafted Telecaster which begs to be played. First of all, it looks phenomenal, with a carved flame Maple top on a Mahogany body, cream body binding, a gorgeous Amber finish with a matching headstock, a Mahogany set neck, abalone dot fingerboard inlays and black hardware.
Second, it sounds phenomenal, with dual Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, three-way pickup switching, a push/pull coil tap switch built into the master tone control knob, and more. A decidedly non-traditional Telecaster of peerlessly crafted style and powerful sonic substance.
Key Features
- Stunning Carved Flame Maple Top – To create one of the most sumptuously refined looks ever given to traditional Tele design, this telecaster features a resonant Mahogany body capped by an exquisitely carved flame maple top with cream binding.
- Seymour Duncan ’59 And Pearly Gates Pickups – The huge voice of the Custom Telecaster FMT HH comes from its powerful Seymour Duncan pickups—a warm ’59 at the neck that goes especially well with the mahogany body, and a sweet and slightly hotter Pearly Gates at the bridge.
- Set Neck – In a most unusual design element for a Telecaster, the Custom Telecaster FMT HH features a glued-on set neck fashioned from resonant and darkly beautiful Mahogany making it really comfortable playing on the higher frets.
