The genuine feel of a ‘63
The NAMM Limited 1963 Telecaster offers a period-correct weight and command that enthusiasts will absolutely love to pick up and play. Its composition begins with a 2-piece body of solid alder, bolted onto by a neck of quarter-sawn maple profiled with a ’63 Strat-style C carve. Next, it’s topped in a stunningly smooth cut of AAA rosewood that’s been precisely radiused to a commanding 9.5 inches and treated to 21 narrow-tall frets. With all elements working together, guitarists will find that this Tele lands in hand with the perfect blend of comfort and navigable convenience for playability that feels just as confident up in front of a crowd as it does while tracking at home.
Punchier single-coil tones
One thing that'll be clear from the first time you plug in is that this NAMM Limited 1963 Telecaster packs more punch than ordinary Tele pickups can supply. That's because this limited-edition solidbody comes loaded with a pair of Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups. These unique single-coils borrow the taller Alnico V magnets from Fender's Jazz Bass pickups, providing the added bobbin space for thicker gauge wire for a hotter, brighter, and punchier sound that's almost Strat-like. This 6-string comes further appointed with classic Tele master controls, in addition to a 3-way pickup selector switch for marvelously streamlined tone sculpting.
Built to vintage standards
Excellent command and an inspiring set of pickups are a hot start for the NAMM Limited 1963 Telecaster. Still, the Custom Shop expertly rounded out its playability with an adornment of performer-grade hardware. Beginning at the headstock, you’ll find a set of Vintage Fender tuning machines and a genuine bone nut, promoting fantastically dependable intonation, precision adjustability, and organic string response with phenomenal era accuracy. At the bottom of the body, an era-accurate Tele bridge ensures your action remains stable while prioritizing sustain. Complete with aluminum knurled control knobs, the NAMM Limited 1963 Telecaster completely nails the ’63 vibe all the way down to the even finest details.
