The Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe in Dakota Red is a road-tested rock machine, built for the dynamic tones and demanding performance style of Foo Fighters’ guitarist Chris Shiflett. Its alder body, finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer with a “belly cut,” provides exceptional comfort and resonance, making it ideal for high-energy live shows. The maple neck features a custom oval "C" profile, paired with a 12” radius rosewood fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, and pearloid block inlays for smooth playability and striking aesthetics.
Equipped with Custom Chris Shiflett "Cleaver" Noiseless CS-90 pickups, this Telecaster delivers powerful output with vintage single-coil clarity and no hum. The hardtail Strat-style bridge enhances sustain and resonance, while "F"-style tuning machines and a bone nut ensure tuning stability through extended performances. With its robust build, iconic style, and versatile tone, the Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe is ready to slash through any mix on any stage.
