Postmodern Tele Tone With Custom Shop Soul
This Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Telecaster is what happens when vintage feel, modern playability, and mad-scientist pickup choices all collide in the best way. It has the snap and clarity you expect from a great ash Tele, with a neck that feels broken in from day one and a voice that goes from glassy twang to wide open roar.
Ash 63 Tele Body With Journeyman Relic Feel
The ash body gives you that classic Tele recipe: fast attack, airy highs, and a tight low end that stays focused when you dig in. It is lively and resonant, so you feel chords bloom against your chest even before you plug in.
The Journeyman Relic Aged Indian Ivory finish nails that “played but not abused” vibe. Light checking, softened edges, and just the right amount of wear so it feels like an old friend instead of a museum piece. No sticky gloss, no precious first ding anxiety, just a guitar that is ready to work.
5/4 Quartersawn Maple Neck With 60s Oval C Comfort
The 5/4 quartersawn maple neck is all about stability and feel. Quartersawn grain means it stays true under stage lights, seasonal changes, and years of string tension, so your setup stays dialed.
The 60 Style Oval C profile hits that sweet spot between vintage chunk and modern comfort. It fills your hand without fighting you, and the contoured heel makes upper fret work feel easy and natural.
Maple Board, 9.50 Radius, Narrow Tall Frets
The maple fingerboard and 9.50 inch radius give you smooth chording down low and effortless bends up high. It feels familiar to Fender players but just modern enough that you do not have to wrestle with fretting out on big bends.
Narrow tall 6105 frets are a huge part of the feel. You get precise intonation, easy vibrato, and a slick, fast surface that rewards a light touch. Real talk, once you get used to this fretwire, it is hard to go back.
CuNiFe Wide Range Neck + Hand Wound 51 Nocaster Bridge
The pickup combo is where this Tele really steps into its own. The CuNiFe Wide Range humbucker in the neck is fat and three dimensional, but still has Fender clarity. Think open chords that shimmer, neck leads that stay articulate, and huge cleans that love a little reverb.
The hand wound Loaded 51 Nocaster bridge pickup brings the classic Tele bite. It has that dry, percussive snap with enough mid push to cut through a dense mix without turning into an ice pick. Roll your volume back and it cleans up to a glassy, articulate tone that takes pedals like a champ.
Together, the HS setup covers a massive range. Warm neck humbucker chords, snarling bridge twang, and everything in between with the controls and your picking hand doing the fine tuning.
Dialed Hardware And Player First Details
The Telecaster 58 63 bridge with RSD saddles gives you rock solid intonation with that classic Tele feel under your picking hand. Vintage tuners with the Fender logo keep things looking right and hold tune without drama.
Dunlop Snap In strap locks keep the guitar where it belongs when you are moving around on stage, and the Electro Socket jack fixes the age old loose Tele cup problem. The Custom Shop black Strat/Tele case is the kind of thing you will be proud to pop open at every gig or session.
