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 “CME Spec” and \"Chicago Special\" Fender Custom Shop guitars highlight important years in the development of core models like the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster. 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 pickup\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Number: 9237101884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R118559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Fender Custom Shop Tweed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7 lbs 2 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Trans Shell Pink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 51-54 Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual Stack HS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage w\/Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Disk 50-55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010-.046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Dark Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Rift Sawn Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e 50s\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 Narrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot:\u003c\/b\u003e Micarta Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Vintage\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 Nocaster \"U\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .860\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .920\"\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 Vintage Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Wound Chicago Special\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/b\u003e Knurled Chrome","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39894452469895,"sku":"9237101884-R118559","price":4880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1952-telecaster-hs-chicago-special-heavy-relic-aged-trans-shell-pink-w-duncan-antiquity-humbucker-9237101884-r118559-292501038040.jpg?v=1653501749","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1952-telecaster-hs-chicago-special-1303801","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
