Fender Custom Shop 1968 Telecaster Closet Classic Time Machine - Aged Tomatillo Green
Sometimes a nice simple spec is a winner! This build is no frills, and all tone. Everything is period accurate from the electronics to the hardware. The only "new" addition to this guitar is the more modern "Tomatillo Green" finish which seems authentically vintage in it's own right, especially with the "aged" treatment providing the look with a patina in exactly the way you'd expect a Closet Classic to fade over time.
The '67 Tele pickups are lower output with alnico 5 magnets and enamel wire for crystal clear Tele twang. The perfect choice for anything from biting Keith Richards tones to twangy sparking country.
