Fender Custom Shop "Johnny's Stallion" 1956 Telecaster Relic in Red Sparkle

The Stallion

We took our very own Jonathan Robinsons favorite Fender Custom Shop and choose to take that as a blueprint and make one to best his trusted steed! Here we present one of the coolest and hot Tele's we could dream up with a neck to match the man it takes to play this mighty gal. 
Covered in the lightest of lacquer with the most lovely red sparkle underneath this pony is painted for battle. She is outfitted with two of the finest hand wound pickups for a tele we could dream up. There is a HW twisted tele in the neck and a HW crushed blackguard in the bridge for classic searing tele tonal goodness! The Twisted Tele pup has become one of the favorites out there for its warm and almost strat like abilities where as the crushed blackguard is a newer addition to the Fender arsenal. This bridge pickup takes all of the vintage goodies in a tele bridge tone that we love and injects it with a bit of fire (and a wee bit of bass) to allow for this to not only be a bakersfield beast but a proper rock n roll machine as well.
The Neck is not for the feint hearted either. She is a hefty 52 style "U" neck that is a large one to grab a hold of. If you are looking for a small, comfy, conservative neck then please look away. This guitar is not for you. With her solid and substantial piece of maple to help transmit the classic tele tones within the body this guitar comes roaring to life.
The double black parchment binding does nothing to disguise the killer you are holding loaded with 6105 frets ready for the fray. 
If you are truly ready...this may be the tele to end all tele's!
