The Custom Shop is home to Fender's most skilled and talented builders. These fully dedicated guitar builders are the best at what they do: with their wealth of knowledge, passion, and skills, they build the finest instruments.

This Butterscotch Blonde Telecaster is a beautiful example of their craftsmanship. The guitar left the factory in 2008 as a New Old Stock model, but has since accumulated various signs of wear and dings to be expected on a well-used instrument. The maple neck features a robust '52-style U-profile, allowing the guitar to perfectly replicate that typical playing feel of the 1950s.

Because the Telecaster is considered by many to be the original workhorse, the Custom Shop 1952 Telecaster requires a pickup combination that can deliver the classic Tele twang. With two single coils, it delivers the versatile and balanced tones you would expect from a Telecaster!

This instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
