Alder Body
A classic Fender® tonewood, Alder is prized for its resonance, balance, and clarity. It produces a lively, full-bodied tone with strong midrange presence and tight low-end response — the perfect foundation for the Telecaster’s unmistakable sound.
Faded Classic and Signature Fender® Finishes
Each instrument features custom-faded vintage and signature Fender® finishes, designed to recreate the beautifully aged patina of a well-loved vintage guitar. These finishes not only look stunning but also allow the tonewood to breathe and resonate naturally.
Coastline™ ’63 Telecaster® Pickups
Drawing inspiration from Fender’s Pure Vintage pickup designs, the Coastline™ ’63 Telecaster® pickups are slightly overwound to produce enhanced warmth, dynamic clarity, and that unmistakable Tele twang. Expect authentic vintage tone with added punch and versatility for any genre.
Modern “C”-Shaped Neck with 9.5" Radius Fingerboard and Medium Jumbo Frets
The Modern “C” neck profile offers a smooth, ergonomic shape that feels instantly comfortable in the hand. Paired with a 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets, it provides fast, effortless fretting and improved note bending — ideal for modern playing styles.
Vintage-Style Hardware and Staggered ClassicGear™ Tuners
Classic Fender® aesthetics meet modern precision. The vintage-style 3-brass saddle bridge delivers authentic Tele twang, while the Staggered ClassicGear™ tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability and a traditional look. This combination ensures dependable performance without compromising vintage character.
Greasebucket™ Tone System
Fender’s Greasebucket™ Tone System offers a sophisticated approach to tone control. It reduces treble frequencies without adding unwanted bass, preserving clarity, gain, and definition even when rolled back. This refined circuit allows for smooth tonal shaping while maintaining the guitar’s natural voice.
