View Full DescriptionClassic vintage style with custom craftsmanship
The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. It’s a guitar that brings the iconic look and feel of a 1960s Telecaster to life, meticulously crafted in the Fender Custom Shop. Finished in a stunning Sonic Blue nitro lacquer, this Telecaster exudes vintage charm with its double-bound alder body, a feature that not only enhances its visual appeal but also pays homage to the classic era of Fender guitars. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is not just for show – it allows the body to resonate more freely, delivering enhanced tonal richness as the guitar ages, a hallmark of vintage-style instruments.
Hand-wound pickups for iconic tone
At the heart of the Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS lies a pair of Josefina hand-wound pickups, earning their name because they're crafted by Josefina Campos, a legendary pickup artist in Fender’s Custom Shop. The bridge position is loaded with a Red Hot Tele pickup, delivering a powerful, dynamic sound with plenty of bite, perfect for rock, blues, and country. The neck position features a Twisted Tele pickup, which offers a clear, warm tone with a touch of sparkle. Together, these pickups offer a versatile tonal range, from bright, twangy leads to warm, mellow rhythms, making this Telecaster a tone machine.
Premium flame maple neck with smooth playability
Comfort and playability are at the core of this Custom Shop creation. The neck is crafted from AA flame maple, quarter-sawn for superior stability and a stunning visual appeal. The 60s-style Oval "C" profile offers a comfortable grip, perfect for both chord work and leads. Its AAA dark rosewood fingerboard provides a silky smooth surface, while the 9.5-inch radius and 21 narrow tall frets ensure easy bending and precise intonation. No matter your style, this neck is designed to ensure a seamless playing experience.
Vintage-style hardware with modern precision
The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS doesn’t just look the part – it performs with vintage authenticity thanks to its meticulously chosen hardware. The vintage-style 58-63 Tele bridge ensures classic Tele twang with solid tuning stability. Knurled chrome control knobs, a top-hat selector switch, and vintage-style tuners with the Fender logo further enhance the retro aesthetic. Yet, beneath this classic appearance is a modern attention to detail, with a precisely machined four-bolt neck plate and high-quality materials that guarantee long-lasting performance and reliability.
Custom shop quality with a touch of history
Owning the Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS represents a piece of guitar history. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the hand-wound pickups by Josefina Campos to the choice of AAA rosewood, sorted for a dark, elegant appearance. The nitro lacquer finish will age gracefully, developing a unique patina that tells the story of your musical journey. Built by master luthiers in the Fender Custom Shop, this Telecaster is a perfect blend of vintage heritage and modern craftsmanship, ensuring that you experience the rich legacy of Fender instruments.
