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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"\"\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Tele pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif revert\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"\"\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"\"\u003e43 gauge enamel wire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"\"\u003eBRIDGE: Wide diameter AlNiCo 3 magnets combined with thinner 43 gauge enamel wire equals ‘hot juicy tone’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"\"\u003eNECK: Wide diameter AlNiCo 5 magnets overwound with 43 gauge enamel wire gives high output, clarity, and punch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Closet Classic\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.

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.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43455385862279,"sku":"9232002791-R146165","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1959-telecaster-chicago-special-deluxe-closet-classic-super-aged-burgundy-mist-metallic-fender-custom-shop-1959-telecaster-chicago-special-deluxe-closet-classic-super-aged-1204427483.jpg?v=1768142013","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1959-telecaster-chicago-special-2258734","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
