Fender Custom Shop 1961 Telecaster Closet Classic Black

This Custom Shop Telecaster beautifully captures the recipe of the early ’60s: a roasted alder body, two hand-wound ’63 Tele single-coils, and a stunning black Closet Classic finish. A brand-new Telecaster that feels and sounds as if it has been here all along.

The roasted alder gives the body an open, resonant character, and combined with the hand-wound ’63 Tele single-coils, it delivers that familiar Tele tone: a bright, biting bridge pickup and a warmer, rounder neck pickup.

The quartersawn maple neck with a 60 Style Oval C profile sits comfortably in the hand, while the slightly wider 9.5" fingerboard radius makes both chords and bends feel natural and effortless. The subtle Closet Classic aging completes the look and gives the impression of a guitar that has already been played for years. Comes in a Fender Custom Shop hardshell case with Case Candy.
