Up for sale, a unique Telecaster build, outfitted with premium hardware and electronics and complete with a hardshell case. This guitar pairs a Fender-licensed Allparts TMVF-C neck with a relic'd MJT alder body finished in Copper nitro lacquer. Components include a combination of Lollar and Fender American Vintage pickups, a Bigsby B16 vibrato with compensated aluminum bridge, and a four-way pickup selector switch.
Part of Lollar’s T Series, the neck position ‘52 single coil is hyper-specific to 1952 Telecaster pickup specifications, designed to provide plenty of woody cut with a slightly gentler, well-rounded upper-midrange response. The bridge pickup is a Fender American Vintage '52 single coil, also wound faithfully to vintage spec with flush-mounted alnico pole pieces and a copper baseplate, dishing out twang and punchy sparkle. This Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The Copper nitro lacquer finish and relic was executed by MJT (who also supplied the body), and the lacquer is shot nice and thin for maximal resonance. MJT's relic treatment includes subtle checking, simulated forearm arm and buckle wear, and various small marks. Beyond the relic, there’s virtually no playwear. The Allparts TMVF-C neck is finished with a thin layer of nitro, also treated with a factory aging process that effectively strips most of the finish (replicating extensive palm wear) for a flawless open-grain, satin feel.
A black tolex hardshell case is included.
