This is a seriously cool Tele Custom. The roasted pine body and birdseye maple neck give it a fantastic feel and sustain, while the CuNiFe humbucker in the neck position adds a warm, powerful dimension you don't typically find on a Tele. It’s perfect for players seeking a vintage vibe with modern refinements and a touch of sonic individuality.

Frequently Asked Questions
