We capture the energy and essence of their respective eras with iconic fingerboard radii and period-correct plastics, matched headstocks and slab fingerboards, classic finishes and not-so-classic colorways. But that’s just the beginning of what makes our Fender Custom Shop guitars so special. We take customization a step further with rift sawn necks for added resonance and expanded control sets for tonal versatility, and every “Chicago Special” Fender Custom Shop guitar features our own custom Chicago Special pickups, designed in conjunction with Fender Custom Shop Vice President of Product Development Mike Lewis.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Tele® pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 gauge enamel wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Wide diameter AlNiCo 3 magnets combined with thinner 43 gauge enamel wire equals 'hot juicy tone'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK: Wide diameter AlNiCo 5 magnets overwound with 43 gauge enamel wire gives high output, clarity, and punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237101499\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R120449\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Super Heavy Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Tweed\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 lbs 9.1 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-Piece Ash\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide Fade Chocolate 2-Color Sunburst\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e '55-57 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Fat 50's Tele Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Tele Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Style\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e '50-55 Vintage Disc Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e '52 Tele Closet Classic Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Dark Tint Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Quarter Sawn Flamed Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e 50's\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Telecaster\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Narrow\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black .250\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50”\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e \"V\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .880\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .980\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Silver Fender Tele\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e '52 Tele Eggshell Relic\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound Chicago Special\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Handwound Chicago Special\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Fat 50's Tele Relic","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39829006123143,"sku":"9237101499-R120449","price":6936.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1955-telecaster-chicago-special-super-heavy-relic-faded-wide-fade-chocolate-2-color-sunburst-w-aa-flame-quartersawn-neck-92371014_735f1a5d-aea8-4ba6-9ee8-0c7683e15820.jpg?v=1647447983","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1955-telecaster-chicago-special-1214664","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
