This is a seriously unique Tele – the CuNiFe humbucker is the star, giving you a fatter, more nuanced neck tone than you’d expect. The heavy relic job is beautifully done, and the 1950s neck profile feels fantastic. It’s perfect for players who want a vintage vibe with modern versatility, but be prepared to pay a premium for this custom shop experience.
