Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is purely cosmetic; it doesn't significantly impact playability or tone. The wood itself is pristine, and the finish is thin nitro, allowing the instrument to breathe.
Fender's Custom Shop meticulously winds these pickups to replicate the output and tonal characteristics of original '63 Telecasters, using vintage-correct materials and techniques.
Rosewood offers a slightly softer, warmer feel than maple, and contributes to a rounder, more mellow tone – a classic Tele feel.
