A Triumph in Custom Telecaster Craftsmanship
One look at this American Custom Telecaster evokes the timeless character and unquestionable prowess of Fender's mid-century Tele building techniques. Under the hood, Sweetwater guitarists have discovered that nostalgic looks aren't the only feature this one-of-a-kind axe adorns — modern appointments, contemporary SH-style pickup versatility, and improved maneuverability are all on the American Custom Telecaster's resume. Premium enhancements, including nickel/chrome locking tuning machines and a refined narrow-tall fret profile, ensure remarkable playability and intonation stability, no matter which play style you plan on bringing to the table. In the same realm, onboard Custom Shop and Seymour Duncan electronics are capable of reaping tones from classic country twang to rich bluesy rhythms and all points in between. Topped off with a period-correct WLS Undercoat and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the American Custom Telecaster is one prime-time axe you're guaranteed to have a hard time putting down.

6-string modernity cast on an antique chassis
Visually, the American Custom Telecaster is representative of the T-style’s golden era. Sonically, it bears the resemblance of a like-new contemporary masterpiece. A 2-piece ash body not only withholds to age-old construction standards; it provides a lighter weight on your shoulders for energetic use onstage. Likewise, a roasted AA bird’s-eye maple neck bearing a ’60s Oval “C”-shape profile and a supple rosewood fingerboard provoke smooth transitions along all 21 frets, ensuring peak operational efficiency for players of all musical stylings. A ’58-63 Tele bridge with brass saddles and modern locking tuning machines complete the American Custom Telecaster’s feature set, keeping string vibration as authentic as possible while maintaining solid intonation throughout your performance.
SH pickup dyad supplies unwavering sonic versatility
The standout feature of any Tele is, undeniably, it's tone. Let us be the first to tell you: the American Custom Telecaster's Texas Special and Seymour Duncan SH-55 pickup duo can supply any voicing combination you want. The Custom Shop Hand-wound Texas Special in the bridge position offers your classic Tele twang, from crystal-clear high chimes to mix-cutting solo leads. Conversely, the neck-mounted Seymour Duncan Seth Lover SH-55 humbucker imbues powerful, balanced sonics into the mix, allowing you to transfer a healthy blend of mid to low-end punch into your output when required. And it's all controllable via the American Custom Telecaster's 3-way pickup switch and volume and tone knob duo.
