The 2013
Collection

The Fender Custom Shop proudly presents its 2013 Collection—one of the most remarkable offerings yet from the talented craftsmen of the "Dream Factory." Each of the special guitars and basses that appear below is a meticulously created and finely crafted embodiment of what the Custom Shop is all about—the very best of Fender's best.

1972 Closet Classic Telecaster® Custom

Model : 1510092806
4,400.00MSRP
The striking 1972 Telecaster Custom is a favorite at the Custom Shop. Introduced back then as an upgraded Telecaster, it featured a humbucking neck pickup designed to make it more of a rock guitar, and the originals were also dense and heavy. We’ve now customized the original design. The hand-selected lightweight ash body features a comfortable belly-cut contour, and the ’69 “U”-shaped neck has a round-laminated fingerboard with a 9.5” radius and taller 6105 frets. The Fender humbucking neck pickup is voiced a little hotter, with a new Twisted Tele® bridge pickup to provide excellent tonal balance. Other features include two volume and two tone controls and the original three-bolt neck-joint design.
