Product Description

A Custom Shop Tele with a Fiery Voice

This isn’t your granddad’s Telecaster, unless your granddad was a certified rock legend. The Fender Custom Shop LTD Telecaster Custom is a masterclass in guitar building, blending vintage soul with modern muscle. The foundation is a resonant roasted ash body, double-bound for a touch of class, and finished in a stunning Pearl White Lush Closet Classic lacquer. It feels alive in your hands, with a snap and sparkle that only gets better with age.

Red Hot Tone Machine

Under the hood, this Tele is hiding a secret weapon: a set of hand-wound TB Red Hot Telecaster pickups. These pups are overwound for scorching output, delivering a powerful midrange punch and sizzling highs without sacrificing that classic Tele twang. The bridge pickup uses Alnico 5 magnets for a tight, cutting presence, while the Alnico 2 neck pickup offers a warmer, more vocal character. From gritty country licks to full-bore rock and roll, these pickups clean up beautifully with a roll of the volume knob but are always ready to push your amp into glorious overdrive.

Effortless Playability

The neck is where the magic really happens. Carved from a gorgeous piece of AAA birdseye maple, it features a comfortable ’59 Esquire “C” profile that feels just right. It’s topped with a AAA rosewood fingerboard sporting a modern 9.5″-12″ compound radius. This means you get the comfort of a vintage radius for chording down low and a flatter, faster feel for effortless bends and solos up high. Combined with medium jumbo frets, it’s a neck that just begs to be played all night long.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Rock • Blues • Country • Indie

Tone

Neck pickup is warm and vocal, with a sweet, clear response thanks to its Alnico 2 magnets.
The 4-way switching unlocks a powerful series position, offering a thick, humbucker-like roar.
Extremely dynamic; cleans up beautifully with the volume knob but pushes amps hard when wide open.

Playing Feel

The '59 Esquire “C” neck profile offers a substantial, comfortable grip that's not too thick.
The compound radius fingerboard makes chording feel natural and bending effortless in the upper register.
A true workhorse, this guitar is built for long sessions, whether in the studio or on stage.

Versatility

Goes from sparkling cleans to aggressive crunch with ease, all controlled by your picking attack.
Loves pedals, providing a fantastic platform for fuzz, overdrive, and delay.
Records like a dream, with a powerful voice that sits perfectly in a dense mix.
The 4-way switching adds a huge range of tones, from classic parallel to fat series sounds.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Lush Closet Classic finish is Fender Custom Shop’s way of creating a guitar that looks like it was bought new, played sparingly for a few years, and then stored away. You’ll find very light signs of use, like faint finish checking and slightly aged hardware, giving it the vibe of a well-preserved vintage instrument.

It’s the best of both worlds. The fingerboard is more curved (9.5″ radius) down by the nut, which makes playing chords feel more natural and comfortable. As you move up the neck for solos and bends, it flattens out to a 12″ radius, which prevents the strings from ‘fretting out’ during big bends. It’s a modern feature that makes for a seriously playable guitar.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
