Delivering that singular Tele twang in a package that already feels broken-in and up to the riffing task, this specially to-spec guitar provides a seamless blend of vintage accuracy and modern utility that continues Fender's legacy of timeless instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from a sorted 2-piece alder body, this Tele provides that resonant, robust, yet bright tone you've come to love, but with even more articulation and clarity. Alder is a fantastic tonal palette for all styles and genres, supplying a balanced sound that doesn't skew too far toward any frequency range. The body touts an Aged Lake Placid Blue nitrocellulose finish with a Closet Classic treatment, showing finish cracking without abrasions or blemishes to simulate a life of at-home play and case storage. A white pickguard is a classy addition to the aesthetics and features chrome hardware for timeless shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttached to the body is a round-laminated plain-grain maple neck, molded into a '60s-style oval \"C\" profile for a comfortable, intuitive playing experience. The nitrocellulose finish is smooth along the entirety of the 25.5\" scale length, providing unmistakable Fender feel during every session and jam. Topping the neck is a AAA 9mm rosewood fingerboard, adorned with 21 vintage upgrade frets and Mother of Pearl dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo support an instrument as incredible as this, proper hardware must be appointed to do the build justice. For said justice to be served, Fender has installed a '67 Tele bridge for fantastic string-vibration transfer, as well as lending to proper intonation and string spacing to supply a reliable instrument. Further up the neck, we'll find a bone nut for additional intonation support, while the Schaller tuning machines provide pitch stability with easy operation during everyday adjustments and routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the plugged-in tone, two '67 hand-wound Tele single-coil pickups deliver crisp tone like you wouldn't believe. That Tele tone you've been dreaming of? Here it is. Supplying high-end clarity with a fundamental bottom and midrange that makes leads soar, these well-rounded pickups work for rock, country, indie, and just about anything else you believe the guitar can handle. Twang for days: crystal cleans with a bit of bite and expressive articulation that translates every nuance. Connected by '67 Tele wiring and controlled by standard volume, tone, and 3-way pickup switch, you'll find that every configurable tone is absolutely applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePackaged in a black Fender Custom Shop-branded deluxe hardshell case, this '67 Telecaster Closet Classic is ready for that busy schedule you've got ahead of you. Whether that means gigs each day or a couple of nights playing the nights away, this Tele wants to be by your side through it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-Piece sorted alder body with Aged Lake Placid Blue Closet Classic nitrocellulose finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound laminated plain grain maple neck in 60s Style Oval \"C\" profile with nitro finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAA 9mm rosewood fingerboard with Mother of Pearl dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchaller tuning machines with Fender logo backs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.65\" width bone nut and Tele '67 bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'67 hand-wound Tele single-coil pickups in neck and bridge position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFender Custom Shop black deluxe hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"CZ591776","offer_id":55920228466856,"sku":"9232004119|||CZ591776","price":4325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/9232004119_68-TELECASTER-CLOSET-CLASSIC-ROSEWOOD-FINGERBOARD-AGED-LAKE-PLACID-BLUE_CZ591776_2.jpg?v=1787783584","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-68-telecaster-closet-classic-aged-lake-placid-blue","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
