This brand new VIP Custom Telecaster style just hit the floor.
This is our homage to Leo Fender’s very first T-style models before settling on the butterscotch blonde finish.
It comes with a lightweight (whole guitar weighs 7.3 lbs) alder body that has been tastefully lacquered and reliced in black nitro by MJT and a FAT Broadcaster style Warmoth neck that was lacquered in nitro for us by Karge Guitars with a 10-14“ compound radius to add modern playability.
The pickups are our own handwound T5.3 set with cryo-tuned AlNiCo 3 magnets and NOS wire. We also installed a set of matching 280k VIPots and a vintage .033 MFD PIO cap.
If you’re into lightweight guitars with fat necks and the purest and boldest Tele sound, you should give this one a chance!
Comes with a cool VIP shirt.
Like with all guitars, you may have to adjust the setup to your liking. As of now, it is set up with Ernie Ball 10s and plays effortlessly with low action.
Shipping only via fully insured UPS Ground. Please make sure to select the UPS Ground shipping option during checkout.
Unfortunately, we cannot ship this guitar internationally. This is available only to continental US customers.
