Features We Love:

1977 Neck Shape

One of the biggest factors in our enjoyment of a guitar is the neck shape and Fender has kept things true to vintage specs with this era-specific neck carve. This 1977 "C" Shape is carved to give the feel of a real '70s Tele custom and offers just the right amount of wood to feel comfortable without being too thick.

70's Pickup Configuration

The Telecaster Custom goes hand in hand with the humbucker design with the original development of the Wide-Range humbucker being overseen by Seth Lover himself. The CuNiFe humbucker loaded into this capture that 70's vibe perfectly with a rich low end and clear treble. Coupled this with the vintage spec Telecaster bridge single coil and you have bright, articulate guitar with a balanced and complimentary setup.

Vintage Spec, Modern Quality

Fender has recreated as much of that vintage vibe as they can with this model from the year-specific neck shape to the '70s-inspired pickups, even down to the screw placement. But it doesn't have any of the problems that can sometimes be associated with vintage guitars thanks to the always stellar Fender USA quality. You can pick this guitar up and know you have an instrument you can trust to deliver a great tone and a fantastic playing experience.
