The Fender Custom Shop 1958 Top-Load Telecaster brings back a unique design choice that changed the feel and voice of the instrument. The top-load bridge, where strings anchor at the back of the bridge plate instead of through the body, gives the strings a slinkier feel with a bit less tension, and it subtly alters the guitar's attack and resonance. It's a true player's piece, with a vibe and sound all its own.The Perfect '57 "V" NeckThe neck is where the magic happens, and this one is pure vintage comfort. The 1-piece quartersawn maple neck is carved into the beloved 1957 Soft "V" profile. It's got just enough heft to feel substantial in your hand, providing a solid foundation for chords and digging in, while the soft V shape is famously comfortable, especially for players who wrap their thumb over the top. Paired with a modern 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets, you get the best of both worlds: a classic feel with modern playability that makes big bends a breeze.H
