Seller's description

Truetone Two Tone Tele As a Showcase level dealer for the Fender Custom Shop, we really enjoy coming up with new guitars.  The mix of classic, vintage styles with modern playability is our favorite thing (not just in guitars, but pretty much in life in general).  While that's somewhat common, what we really love is partnering together to create guitars that you don't see out there everyday That's the case with this "Truetone Two Tone Tele".  We started with a 1952 Telecaster as the base model, and then altered it to create our own version.  One of the most iconic and popular models in Fender history, the "Blackguard" Telecaster has earned its place as an unmistakable tonal force on countless recordings. It's pretty cool to be able to offer this historic guitar with modifications - but to add a whole new aesthetic to it is even more enticing.  The end result is captivating.     The two-piece ash body wears an NOS (New Old Stock) lacquer finish, without any of the relic work or aging that you normally see.  While we love those guitars, we wanted this one to look like it just came out of the Fender factory yesterday.  The color we chose, Oxblood, is definitely not what you would see on a Tele back in 1952, but that's the fun of this.  You also wouldn't see one with binding on the top like this one has.  What you would see is the single ply black pickguard, which we kept, as well as the ash body.  For this one, we asked for the back & sides not to be painted, so that the beautiful wood grain shows.  So, it's natural there, but Oxblood on top.  Hence the "Truetone Two Tone Tele" moniker.    Also, if you're looking for a light Tele, it's going to be hard to beat this one - the guitar weighs just 6.6 lbs. The solid & sturdy maple neck is a force to be reckoned with - it's a Nocaster "U" profile, but with a somewhat slimmer feel than normal.  It's still relatively thick while still being comfortable, and plays like a dream.  If you're into super skinny necks this isn't
