Seller's description

Truetone Tortoise Set 1966 Telecaster The Telecaster holds a special place not only guitar history, but in popular culture as well.  It evolved over the years, and for some, the mid-60's version is the quintessential "must-have".  That's what we went for with this Custom Shop recreation, but with a twist you've never seen before, creating a Telecaster like no other.   The two-piece alder body sports the iconic shape, with a Closet Classic lacquer finish, giving it the look and feel of a guitar that was built back in the 60's, stayed hidden for decades, and just reappeared.  Our friends at the Custom Shop picked out light pieces, and the result is a Tele at just 7.2 lbs.  For the color, we chose a classic: Olympic White.  Then we started to get creative.  We've done a lot of Custom Shop builds over the years, but this stands out as one of the more unique - this is the first Telecaster to exist like it.   The reason we can say that is the customization of the block inlays on the maple neck: they're tortoiseshell.  It really catches your eye and matches the neck binding perfectly.  The idea came to us when designing a Custom Shop bass, and we took that straight over to this guitar, thinking it would be a great feature on a Telecaster Custom.  We picked 1966 as the base model year specficially to be able to keep it "period correct" with binding on both the neck and the body (back & front).  The result is actually better than what we imagined.  Tortoiseshell blocks have never been done on a Teambuilt Telecaster, until now.  They also match the tortoiseshell pickguard nicely.  This, along with the Olympic White body, creates an all around beautiful aesthetic.   The tinted quartersawn maple neck sports a 60's Oval "C" shaped profile, which is the most popular for Custom Shop builds.  It's not too fat to play, and not too skinny - it's the perfect amount of wood to grip.  Throughout the years, most players have gravitated towards a 9.5" radius and 6105 (narrow tall) frets
