Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1958 Top-Load Telecaster NOS MN – Aged White Blonde
In 1958 we modified the design of the venerable Telecaster, switching from a string-through-body bridge to a top- bridge. A flexible guitar with authentic Fender tone, the Vintage Custom 58 Telecaster lets you choose either stringing method, courtesy of the Top-Load Tele bridge with period-accurate threaded steel saddles. The two-piece select ash body wears a pristine translucent Aged White Blonde NOS flash coat lacquer finish that makes it look like this instrument time-traveled from 58 to today. The tinted riftsawn maple necks V-shaped profile fills the hand comfortably while the 7.25-9.5-compound-radius fingerboard flattens out as you go up the neck, making it easy to bend without fretting out, and 21 medium-vintage frets offer familiar playing feel. The pair of Hand-Wound 58 Tele single-coil pickups are packed with authentic twang and growl, tied together with vintage-style wiring. For those who want more modern tone, we included a Fat 50s Tele wiring and control assembly in the case.
Other features include 3-way switch, 1-ply Eggshell pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
