In keeping with the true spirit of Leo’s original vision of the company, each instrument is built with the highest level of care and excellence. Here at Chicago Music Exchange, we have collaborated with the best minds at Fender to build the best instruments from top to bottom, tirelessly going over each spec to ensure that we offer you the best of what Fender has to offer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing measurements and components we hand-selected from across history, our “Chicago Special” Fender Custom Shop guitars highlight important years in the development of core models like the Stratocaster, Telecaster and more. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Tele® pickups\u003c\/b\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237101904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R118033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 lbs 13 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Lake Placid Blue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e Top and Bottom Parchment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 58-63 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Fat 50s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e R Serial Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage w\/Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e 56-58 American Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e AAA Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e Early 60s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Narrow Tall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 59 Esquire \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .790\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .965\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal:\u003c\/b\u003e 59-63 Tele Custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy Relic Back of Neck Frets 1 through 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Parchment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound Chicago Special\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound Chicago Special","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39894479831175,"sku":"9237101904-R118033","price":75992.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1959-custom-telecaster-chicago-special-relic-aged-lake-placid-blue-9237101904-r118033-29250207514759.jpg?v=1653507682","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1959-custom-telecaster-chicago-1303822","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
