This Shiflett Tele Deluxe is a seriously well-built instrument. Chris Shiflett clearly had a vision for a workhorse Tele – it’s got that classic twang, but the noiseless pickups make it incredibly versatile for modern rock and blues. It's perfect for players who want a reliable, great-sounding Tele with a comfortable feel and a touch of modern convenience.
