This is an incredibly hard to find and stunningly beautiful Fender Custom Shop American Classic Telecaster in Champagne Sparkle finish.
This beauty has had almost no play and has been stored in my collection. Fender Custom Shop made this model in the mid to late 90’s and I believe mine is a 1996 model year.
This Tele series features 3 Texas Special pickups and has an incredible tonal range with a 5 position strat style selector switch.
Highlights include an out of this world sparkle finish in the front and back of the instrument, great sounding Texas Special pickups, and a beautiful figured hard rock maple neck that is easy to play and super comfortable.
I have only played this beauty a few times, and it has little playtime and fret wear. I am listing it in good condition and at a much lower price than I would normally sell because over time it has developed finish cracks. It also has spots on the top of the head stock (please refer to photos 6, 7, 8, 12). There are very few of these instruments in existence. The intricate level of hand made craftsmanship is impressive and looks great.
Features include:
– Rare Champagne Sparkle finish in front and back of instrument
– Lightly figured hard rock maple neck (looks and plays great)
– 5 way pickup switch
– 1 Texas Special Tele pickup in bridge position
– 2 Texas Special Stratocaster pickups in the middle and neck position
– White Pearloid pick guard
– Strap locks
This is an extremely well crafted and resonant instrument. The workmanship and attention to detail on this guitar is impressive. The tone, resonance, weight balance combined with the quality of the finish is out of this world.
Includes third party tweed hard shell case that has signs of wear. Shipping cost includes insurance.
Available for local pickup in North San Diego. If you are outside the US, please message me so I can check international shipping rates and availability.
