The Fender Custom Shop 1961 Telecaster DLX Closet Classic blends early 60s Tele tone with refined Custom Shop craftsmanship and subtle ageing. Finished in classic Black with a Closet Classic treatment it offers a lightly worn look that feels naturally broken-in without heavy relic wear. The 2-piece offset seam roasted alder body delivers a balanced resonant tone with a touch of added warmth while the nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe freely giving you a lively responsive feel across a wide range of playing styles. A quartersawn maple neck shaped to a comfortable 60s Oval "C" profile is paired with a 3A rosewood fingerboard offering a smooth controlled playing surface. The 9.5 inch radius and Jescar vintage frets provide a familiar feel with improved playability for bends and lead work. Equipped with Custom Shop hand-wound 63 Tele pickups this guitar delivers bright articulate tones with plenty of snap and definition. With vintage-style hardware and a traditional control layout its a versatile Tele built for expressive reliable performance.
