Fender Custom Shop Telecaster 59 Relic Dealer Select
Guitar description
This is one absolutely fantastic guitar. A 2014 Fender Custom Shop 59 Tele in super rare shell pink. A Coda Music Dealer select model that was featured and sold at a Custom Shop roadshow event, presumably at Coda Music. (I asked Coda music and they have said: "the signature is Matt Schofield, and must have been done when we did a Two Rock clinic around that time") The spec of this guitar is quite special, a two piece ash body, AAA rosewood board, hand wound pickups, a 10" radius and large frets. This thing is super playable and has tons of mojo, vibrance and resonance. The paint finish and relic job are just fantastic and the extensive checking looks really cool with this amazing pink colour. A very special and rare instrument. As with all the Fender Custom Shop guitars we get in we have taken this apart, fully authenticated it had it fully cleaned, set up and got it playing and sounding 100% of it's potential. The spec sheet lists medium jumbo frets, however the frets on the guitar are super jumbo (2.99mm wide). I think that this one has had a refret at some stage, but this is THE best fret job I have seen in my life. What makes me think it's been done? The ends are almost too prefect to be factory. When combined with the 10 inch radius it makes for a deliciously playable instrument and its addictive to play.
