What we say:

At A Glance:

This Fender Custom Shop Historic 1959 Telecaster Custom Chocolate 3-Colour Sunburst is an authentic recreation of the iconic '59 Telecaster Custom that was notable for its double-bound body and rosewood fingerboard, which was a brand new concept at the time. The Custom Shop has worked their magic to capture what was great about the '59 Tele, including the vintage 7.25"-9.5" compound radius neck, Custom Shop Hand-Wound pickups and a flat lam fingerboard. If you're looking for a vintage Tele without the wear and hefty price tag, this is the guitar for you!

Features We Love:

Fender Custom Shop Quality

Fender Custom Shop guitars are known for their next level, quality, attention to detail, superb sound and outstanding playability. When you purchase a Fender Custom Shop guitar, you know that you're getting a top tier instrument, with few equals.

Custom Shop Hand-Wound '58 Single-Coil Tele Pickups

These superb pickups stunningly recreate all the classic twang and bite that makes the Tele an instantly recognisable classic. Paired with the Fat '50s wiring, and you've got all the nuance of the classic Tele sound and transparent bloom on every note.

Superb Tonewoods

Fender Custom Shop have sourced some of the finest tonewoods for the construction of this guitar and it shows. 2-Piece Offset Seam Lightweight Alder body delivers the resonance and sustain you'd expect from a Tele, but its light weight makes it ideal for longer gigs and sessions.

Who Is It For?

The player looking for that special guitar that looks and plays like a well-worn extension of yourself, right out the box.

Highlights:

  • World class Fender Custom Shop quality
  • Authentic vintage tones

Customer reviews

Overall Rating 5/5 (1 reviews)

We live in a world where so many things look the same, including electric guitars. The Fender Custom Shop Historic 59 Chocolate Tele is different. It’s not another blonde 52 Tele or a relic but double bound with a beautiful three colour sunburst, comfortable neck and rosewood fingerboard, featuring clay dots. And it sounds just like a Tele played clean or with a little gain, perfect for adding electric guitar to my home recordings.
