Seller's description

Since 1987, the Fender Custom Shop—affectionately known at CME as “The Dream Factory”—has grown to a band of over 50 veteran guitar artisans who take Leo Fender’s legacy to its utmost heights by bringing dream guitars and basses to life. Taking an amp builder’s sensibility to instrument design, Leo Fender’s modular approach emphasized swappable components. This foundational design philosophy portended a future that we now inhabit, in which it’s not only easy to replace individual parts and maintain the longevity of each instrument—but, players also have the ability to customize every component of an instrument, giving them innumerable options when dreaming up their ideal guitar. Here at Chicago Music Exchange, we’ve collaborated with the best minds at Fender to build the best instruments from top to bottom, tirelessly going over each spec to ensure that we offer you the best of what Fender has to offer—from neck shaping and fretwork to finishing and aging. As a result of our ongoing collaboration, the instrument you see here is, of course, much more than the sum of its parts. Imbued with history, alive with the spirit and devotion of those who crafted it, this Fender Custom Shop creation is brimming with intangible, electrifying elements, that add new dimensions to every playing experience.  General: Brand Name: Fender Case Type: Hardshell Case Made in: Made in the USA Product Color: Firemist Red Relic or Aging Level: Journeyman Relic Serial Number: R148406 Series: Fender Custom Shop Weight: 6lbs 9oz Body: Body Finish: Lacquer Finish Body Material: 2-Piece Select Ash Body Shape: Telecaster Neck: Fingerboard Inlay: Dots Fingerboard Material: 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple Neck Finish: Lacquer Finish Neck Joint: Bolt-On Neck Material: 1-Piece Quartersawn Maple Neck Neck Shape: 1957 Soft "V" Back-Shape Number of Frets: 21 Frets Nut Material: Bone Truss Rod: Adjustable Electronics: Controls and Switching: 3-Way Switch Electronics Notes: 53-'59 Tele Wiring Hardware: Brid
