Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brad Paisley 1967 "Lost Paisley" Telecaster Electric Guitar

The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brad Paisley 1967 "Lost Paisley" Telecaster captures an intriguing chapter of Fender history through a meticulous collaboration with country guitar virtuoso Brad Paisley, a noted aficionado and collector of paisley guitars. Paisley's passion for these uniquely adorned instruments extends so far that he frequently purchases vintage guitars suspected of being original paisleys concealed beneath later refinishes. Rediscovering a forgotten stash of original Blue Paisley cling-foil, Brad Paisley collaborated with experts Zac Childs and Joe Glaser to authentically replicate and revive this unique design, resulting in a faithful homage with modern functionality.

At its core, this Telecaster combines alder and lightweight paulownia wings topped with resonant spruce, a distinctive configuration contributing clarity and rich tonal resonance. The carefully selected tonewoods yield a lightweight, acoustically vibrant instrument suitable for players who prioritize nuanced articulation.

The maple neck, carved into a comfortable custom '60s Oval "C" profile, accommodates vintage-inspired playability, enhanced by a round-laminated maple fingerboard with a classic 7.25-inch radius. With 21 narrow-tall 6105 frets and black dot inlays featuring narrow spacing, precision fingering and subtle vintage feel align perfectly, promoting agile yet expressive play.

The Telecaster is outfitted with Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Hand-Wound “Lost Paisley” single-coil pickups, precisely crafted to replicate the warmth and articulate twang emblematic of the original late-‘60s sound. Modern Tele wiring provides versatile, intuitive control via a straightforward master volume, master tone, and three-way selector switch.

A distinctive highlight is the authentic '67 Telecaster bridge, enhanced with steel saddles and the acclaimed Glaser "G" Bender system, allowing players to emulate pedal-steel bends effortlessly.

A stunning Blue Paisley Relic nitrocellulose finish completes this guitar’s aesthetic, offering a visually captivating nod to its psychedelic lineage.

Complete with a deluxe hardshell case, period-correct Fender strap, and certificate of authenticity, the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Brad Paisley 1967 “Lost Paisley” Telecaster bridges vintage authenticity and contemporary craftsmanship, embodying the Fender Custom Shop’s commitment to meticulous historical accuracy and modern performance standards.
