2012 Fender Custom Shop Telecaster, Yuriy Shishkov Masterbuilt, Blonde

Description

Built by acclaimed Fender Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, this 2012 Custom Shop '55 Telecaster is a beautifully executed interpretation of one of Fender's most influential designs. Shishkov has earned a reputation as one of the Custom Shop's finest craftsmen, with his Masterbuilt instruments prized for their exceptional attention to detail, outstanding finish work, and consistently high standard of build.

Finished in classic Blonde, with beautiful gold hardware accents, this guitar is an incredibly classy looking instrument. The ash body is lightweight and resonant, producing the lively, immediate response that has made these early Tele's legendary.

The pair of Custom Shop single-coil pickups deliver everything expected from a great '50s style Telecaster—plenty of brightness and bite from the bridge, balanced by a warm, rounded neck pickup with excellent clarity. Together they offer a wide range of usable tones, from articulate clean sounds through to driven classic rock and blues, all with the unmistakable directness of a good Tele.

The highly-figured maple neck features a comfortable "C" profile, excellent for those who prefer less full-feeling carves, such as on the earlier Blackguard style instruments. As with all Masterbuilt instruments, the neck carve, fretwork, and overall setup have been executed to an exceptionally high standard, resulting in a guitar that feels immediately familiar and responsive.

Presented in near-mint condition! Supplied complete with its original Fender Custom Shop case, certificate of authenticity, and case candy.

A fine example of a Fender Masterbuilt Telecaster from one of the Custom Shop's most respected builders, offering outstanding craftsmanship, classic '50s styling, and everything players look for in a top-tier Tele.
