1-PIECE MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25”-RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD AND 21 VINTAGE TALL FRETS
Vintage-accurate construction is delivered by the 1-piece maple neck with 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard, while vintage tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for enhanced playability and classic comfort.
LATE ‘50S SOFT “V”-SHAPED NECK
This classic '50s shape features a rounded "V" and starts off chunky at the nut, thickening slightly toward the 12th fret.
VINTAGE-STYLE LATE '50S PICKUPS
Authentic period tone and clarity are delivered by the vintage-style late '50s pickups, capturing the classic Telecaster bite and twang with warm, woody character and crisp attack that cuts through any mix.
VINTAGE-STYLE 3-SADDLE BRIDGE WITH STEEL BARREL SADDLES
Featuring a classic 3-saddle bridge with rock-solid string-through-body design and three steel “barrel” saddles for authentic late ‘50s Tele® twang.
