TIME MACHINE SERIES OVERVIEW

Our shrine to the heritage and legacy of those pioneers who made us what we are today. The Fender Custom Shop reached new heights of craftsmanship with its acclaimed Time Machine series—artfully “relic-ed” guitars and basses that revolutionized the entire concept of “reissue” instruments. The Custom Shop has since ventured even higher by crafting meticulous replicas using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals all those years ago.

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.
