Seller's description

Masterbuilt Austin MacNutt '52 Telecaster Custom Truetone Music is proud to have a long and close relationship with Fender, especially with the Custom Shop.  Every so often, a new Masterbuilder joins the ranks - when that happens, we jump right into it with them to forge a new partnership.  Over the years, it leads to a relationship centered around creating the best and coolest guitars possible.  This killer 1952 Telecaster Custom is a result of that approach.   When we got word that Austin MacNutt had joined the Fender Custom Shop as the newest Masterbuilder, we immediately set up a meeting to cook up a batch of very special guitars.  We always like to ask the builders what they would like to build, colors they want to use, etc., in an effort to truly collaborate on guitars that they are excited to build.  Sometimes we go crazy with something off the wall, sometimes we go with a more traditional target and sometimes we mix both approaches.  The last is what got us to this amazing Tele  Of course, he absolutely nailed it.   We went for a classic guitar with a super unique look - it's Purple Sparkle over Taos Turquoise Sparkle.  Not only that, this Tele is double-bound, so you get a touch of the 60's on a 50's model - hence why this is a Telecaster Custom.  You definitely haven't seen a Tele like this before.    Austin did an amazing job with the Heavy Relic finish, giving it the look and feel of a Tele that's been through a few battles over the last 70 years.  Be sure to check out the level of detail shown in the photos - it's evident that not only does Austin have his own style, but he knows exactly what he's doing.  We love how this one came out, not just with the paint job but also the way the binding looks.  It's not just about the aesthetics though - as anyone that has played a Custom Shop guitar like this knows, it's just as much (if not more) all about the feel.  The neck feels perfectly broken in.  As a Masterbuilder, Austin has this art down to a science,
