Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a fairly generous '60s Oval C, but Fender’s interpretations can vary slightly; expect a comfortable, rounded feel, not a thin, modern profile.
It’s a visual treatment replicating aged lacquer; it won't fundamentally alter the tone, but it does contribute to the vintage aesthetic and feel.
The Pink Paisley finish is a unique, niche offering; functionally, it’s on par with other Custom Shop Teles, but the aesthetic makes it stand out and justifies the premium price for the right buyer.
