A Classic Tele. Masterbuilt by Fender's Custom Shop

Getting your hands on the Fender Custom Shop 1962 Telecaster Custom Closet Classic solidbody electric guitar is like catching up with a long-lost friend. The Closet Classic Telecaster Pro's alder body is finished with a distinctive Closet Classic lacquer finish, giving this Tele the look of a classic guitar that has aged with grace. You also get the popular '60s "C" neck shape - you'll love how this Tele plays. And for the classic Telecaster tones you crave, the Closet Classic Tele sports a pair of Twisted Tele pickups for hot single-coil action. For a guitar that plays like a classic and sounds like one too, look no further than the Fender Custom Shop 1962 Telecaster Custom Closet Classic.
