The body is off-center two-piece ash, specifically sorted for lightweight, which is why this one comes in at 7.3 lbs. The NOS finish means no aging or checking — it looks and feels like a brand-new Telecaster just off the bench. A black anodized '59-style 5-hole pickguard against the blue is a sharp combination you don't see often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe neck is where this one prominently separates itself. Roasted 3A flame maple, carved to a '57-style Soft \"V\" (.790\" at the 1st fret, .920\" at the 12th fret), with a matching roasted 3A flame maple fretboard and mother of pearl dot inlays. Roasting stabilizes the wood and adds a broken-in stiffness that translates to better sustain and tuning stability. The 9.5\" to 12\" compound radius is the modern touch here — comfortable for chords down low, flat enough up top for clean bends without fretting out. 21 medium jumbo frets, 25.5\" scale, a 1.650\" bone nut, and 4-bolt construction for that classic Tele snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics are hand-wound Loaded '51 Nocaster single-coils in both positions, wired with Fender Custom Shop Fat 50s wiring. That combination gives you the steely bridge twang and warm, round neck tone the Nocaster is known for, with a fatter midrange than a stock vintage circuit. Volume and tone controls with a 3-way blade selector keep it simple. A Nocaster bridge with RSD compensated brass barrel saddles handles intonation, and vintage-style tuners with the Fender logo finish the nickel and chrome hardware package. Whether you're a country or session player who needs a Tele that tracks perfectly, a blues and roots guitarist chasing hand-wound single-coil detail, or a collector after a Custom Shop piece with a special neck, this one earns its spot. This American Custom Tele (Serial #R143247) includes a black Fender Custom Shop hardshell case.
