Coastline™ ’63 Telecaster® Pickups
Based on Fender’s renowned Pure Vintage designs, the Coastline ’63 Telecaster® pickups are slightly overwound to produce enhanced warmth, clarity and punch. The result is the unmistakable Tele tone – dynamic, articulate, and full of vintage character – with a touch more muscle for modern versatility.
Modern “C”-Shaped Neck with 9.5" Radius Fingerboard and Medium Jumbo Frets
The Modern “C” neck profile provides a smooth, comfortable playing experience suited to all styles. Its 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets allow fast fretting, effortless bends, and a familiar feel that’s ideal for both rhythm and lead players.
Vintage-Style Hardware and Staggered ClassicGear™ Tuners
With its vintage 3-brass saddle bridge, this Telecaster delivers the classic twang and sustain that defined an era. The Staggered ClassicGear™ tuners combine authentic Fender® looks with modern precision, improving string angle and tuning stability while retaining period-correct charm.
Greasebucket™ Tone System
Fender’s Greasebucket™ Tone System offers superior tonal control by rolling off treble frequencies without reducing output or adding unwanted bass. This clever circuit maintains clarity and presence even when dialled back, allowing players to shape their tone with precision and balance.
