Out Of Stock
Up for sale, a 2017 Fender Hybrid ‘60s Telecaster in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with an upgraded hardshell case. A discontinued FSR (Factory Special Run) custom color example with a gloss Candy Tangerine metallic finish, the Hybrid 60s model is one of the finest Tele iterations ever produced by Fender Japan, and a model not available in the USA market. Simply stunning in its forward-thinking design and player-friendly features, the guitar features an alder body, USA-made Fender Pure Vintage '58 Tele pickups, USA-spec CTS pots, four-way series/parallel switching, brass saddles, a bone nut, medium jumbo fretwire, locking Kluson-style tuners, and a satin neck profile finish.

The Pure Vintage '58 Fender pickups translate the guitar's ample acoustic properties into a vital palette of traditional Tele tones. With Alnico V magnets, black fiber bobbins, a copper baseplate on the bridge pickup, and push-back cloth-covered leads, the pickups are extremely faithful to vintage spec. There's ample chewy twang and sparkle on tap in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like neck pickup and a very welcome 4th position on the blade switch, engaging both pickups in series for a particularly big and bold sound. Weighing 7lbs 14oz, this Tele has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

A black tolex hardshell case is included, a notable upgrade, as this model was offered new with a gigbag.
