You Won't Believe What We Found in the Closet!

Getting your hands on the Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro solidbody electric guitar is like catching up with a long-lost friend. The Closet Classic Telecaster Pro's swamp ash 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 cutaway heel design, along with a special "10/56" V 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 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro.



Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro at a Glance:
  • Timeless look and feel
  • Twisted Tele pickups
  • Fender Custom Shop precision and quality

Timeless look and feel
You'll immediately notice that the Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro looks and feels like a classic 50's guitar that you just re-discovered in the closet. The Closet Classic lacquer finish not only looks elegant, it will continue to age and mature along with your guitar.

Twisted Tele pickups
The first thing you'll notice after plugging in the Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro is that it packs more punch than a standard Telecaster. That's because the Custom Shop "Twisted Tele" single-coil pickups are designed to give you a hotter, brighter output than standard Tele pickups, for tone that never fails to deliver.

Fender Custom Shop precision and quality
Every detail on the Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro reminds you of the historic lineage of the Telecaster, from the Closet Classic lacquer finish to the vintage hardware. But the Fender Closet Classic Tele isn't just built for looks - the neck of the Closet Classic Tele is made from quartersawn maple for strength and maximum vibration, and the swamp ash for the body was hand-selected for maximum quality.

Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro Features:
  • The sound, look, and feel that made the Telecaster a historic instrument
  • Twisted Tele single-coil pickups give you a hotter, more energetic output than standard Tele pickups
  • Quartersawn maple neck is extremely rigid, excellent for transfer of string energy
  • Greasebucket tone circuit design lets you roll of high frequencies without the resonance bump of standard tone circuits
  • Comes with hardshell case and Fender Custom Shop certificate

The Fender Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic Telecaster Pro is like a great-playing blast from the past!

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.
