Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Caballo Tono Ligero Relic, Aged Black

The understated half-guard look of the Cabronita goes a step further with the Fender Custom Shop Caballo Tono Ligero, Limited Edition. This 2 piece ashed body gets the thin line treatment with a single violin F-hole for weight relief and resonance. The Fender Custom Shop then loaded it up with two TV Jones Filtertron humbuckers, controlled with a 500k volume and tone setup. Filtertrons are true hum-cancelling dual coil pickups but tonally they split the gap between chunky humbuckers and jangly single coils. Look for them to bring the warmth with plenty of top end sparkle. The 10/56 "V" shaped profile, a Russo Music favorite, is both obvious and comfortable. We find this is the "V" profile that converts the anti-V neck crowd more than any other. It looks as good as it feels in AAA flamed maple, relic'd to the wood on the back and worn through fingerboard divots on the playing side. Radius is 9.5" with 6105 frets. Chrome lockers at the headstock and the RSD sawed-off Tele bridge (with compensated saddles) anchor the strings across the 25.5" scale. Relic Aged Black nitro finish, single ply white half-guard, ships with FCS hardshell case, COA, and bound traveler.
