Fender Limited Edition Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dakota Red

Wherever around the world they know good rock music, the Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett chops his way through one of rock's most historic discographies – to take on such a task, he'd likely recommend the Fender Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe. Previously available only as a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Artist model, this barebones rock machine moves mountains for powerful performances. This unique artist model from Fender is bold and uncompromising for players looking to cleave their way through their next set.

Kicking this whole instrument off, this unique Tele Deluxe starts with an incredibly resonant alder body shaped with a "belly cut" contour for maximized comfort. This body is paired with a satin-finished maple neck fitted to a Custom Oval "C" profile for blisteringly fast trips up and down its 25.5" scale length. The speed provided by the neck is exponentially increased by a slab rosewood fingerboard measuring at a twelve-inch radius. A more modern and flat radius than your usual Fender, this board is rich tangibly and visually for an excellent runway from which your most fiery licks can take off.

There's always more to the story, though. Onboard this Tele, Fender loaded in two Custom Chris Shiflett "Cleaver" Noiseless CS-90 pickups that match a powerful output and volume with a biting midrange and screaming highs. These P-90 single coils pack a wallop while remaining silent when it comes to unwanted hum. To tie all its elements together, this Chris Shiflett special features a hardtail Stratocaster bridge with bent steel saddles for easy stringing and rock solid intonation. This bridge is matched with "F"-style tuning machines lining the painted Large '70s Style headstock and a bone nut. In true, rock 'n' roll road-ready style, this Fender travels in a Vintage Style Brown hardshell case with a Chris Shiflett Signature graphic and amber interior.

As part of one of rock's most relevant bands, Chris Shiflett knows what's needed to deliver a knockout of a show. With this model, he shares some of that wisdom and mojo with players across the world.
