A Classic Tele Reborn One of the most classic and timeless guitars in the history of instruments, the Fender Telecaster has evolved over the years, but for many players, all they want is the old school classic.  For this particular Custom Shop piece, we aimed to give birth to a classic, with a twisted - an unbelievable roasted flame maple neck.  The result was captivating. The 1955 Telecaster is an all-time classic with features it's specifically known for, including smooth barrel steel bridge saddles, staggered bridge pickup pole pieces and a chunky neck profile. In this recreation, the Fender Custom Shop has captured the tone, playability, look and feel of this archetypal model - and then we upgraded it with the Roasted AAA Flame Maple neck that has become the main calling card of this guitar.  Look closely at the photos and you'll see why.  The flame is stunning. The two-piece select ash body wears a heavily checked Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish, so it has the vibe of a guitar that has been on the road for years but not abused.  The neck features a chunky ’54 “U” profile, topped by a 9.5”-radius fingerboard with 21 narrow tall frets, and is a thrill to play. For the neck, we did a Heavy Relic finish on the back of it, to give it the perfectly worn in feel that players love. The Custom Shop 55/56 pickups give it the vintage Tele tone that is beloved by Tele players everywhere.  The bridge pickup provides punchy mids and hot highs for that classic Tele twang, with staggered pole pieces to even out the inter-string response.  The neck neck pickup provides a warm and creamy tone.  Combined, it's a beautiful sound. This Tele also features the "Fat ‘50s Tele" wiring setup.  This is achieved by connecting the tone pot to the output of the volume pot (middle lug) instead of the input.  Many late fifties guitars of all brands were wired this way, but it can be done with any guitar. This will have two major effects on the tone: First, the overall ton
