Check it out!! Wot a cool hybrid...
The Fender Custom Shop Telemaster is based on an early 50's Esquire/Telecaster platform with a Jazzmaster body shape. A 60's version will also be available. Although this model never actually existed, these guitars were designed to look like some kind of lost NAMM show prototype from the Pre-CBS era and they certainly would have been perfectly at home in any vintage Fender catalog. While it may look and feel like a vintage instrument, the Telemaster was designed from the ground up to be true player's guitar with some obvious and not so obvious features. For tonal versatility two additional, specially designed pickups are stealthily hidden underneath the pickguard and the reverse mounted control plate puts the volume and tone knobs in the perfect position for quick adjustments. A 5-way selector switch provides modern switching ability. Additional player friendly specifications include a lightweight Ash body, custom neck profile with 1&11/16 nut width, 9.5 fingerboard radius and 6105 frets, Gatton bridge and saddles for improved intonation and tuning stability.
