A vintage-voiced bridge pickup gives you that instantly recognizable Tele sound to transport you back to 1952 while the Custom Shop Twisted single-coil neck pickup bumps it up a notch for fat, bluesy color. When turned all the way up, the tone control is removed from the signal path entirely for the purest sound and no loading. The Offset Telecaster's modern C-shape neck profile is extremely comfortable and easy to play, with a maple fretboard that accentuates the treble regions and overall tonal brightness. 22 medium-jumbo frets make it a great fit for heavier blues and rock, though with the right touch, the Offset Tele can comfortably slide into any style of music -- just like a Telecaster should.
