Description

Take your playing to new heights with the Postmodern Telecaster® DLX Closet Classic from the Fender Custom Shop. This premium electric guitar blends vintage vibe with modern playability for the ultimate Tele experience. The 2-piece select ash body wears a Journeyman Relic nitrocellulose lacquer finish, imparting the look of a well-loved classic. The rosewood neck and fingerboard has a comfortable ‘60s Oval "C" profile. 21 Narrow Tall frets provide effortless bending while the 9.5" -12" compound radius offers smooth, fast playing.

Areverse Nocaster bridge with brass saddles provides rock-solid intonation while the Custom Shop Hand-Wound Twisted Tele neck pickup and Crushed '50/'51 Blackguard bridge pickup deliver classic Tele twang and bite. The 3-way blade switch provides access to a half-cocked wah tone, standard tone control, and wide-open “all knobs at 10" tone.

Other premium features include a Reverse '51 Modified Nocaster Wiring, 3-Ply Parchment Pickguard, Reverse Nocaster Bridge with Brass RSD Saddles, Vintage-Style Tuning Machines with Fender Logo, Bone Nut, American Vintage ‘59-'64 String Tree, Deluxe Hardshell Case, Strap, Certificate of Authenticity.

Deluxe Closet Classic is a house favorite here at CME. It shows its age like a fine wine, built for those who want to more clearly feel the life of the instrument, but without all those forced dings and dents. Maintaining many of the subtleties of a traditional Closet Classic such as less brilliance to the finish, slight discoloration of plastics, and mild oxidation of metal parts, this aging package adds notably more extensive and lush finish checking that you will see and feel throughout. (*Note. Our photographs sometimes do not capture finish checking as well as we’d like, so please get in touch with us for an in-hand description and additional photographs.)
