Built to get your groove on
The Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster SH with Bigsby isn’t simply a wall decoration — it plays as great as it looks. To start, the C-shaped neck profile adapts to many hand sizes, offering fast and slick playability along the entire length of the Indian laurel fingerboard. The 9.5-inch fingerboard radius has a “best of both worlds” response, equally suitable for base position chord playing and blazingly fast solo work. The 21 narrow-tall frets feel natural to the touch and offer enough fret height to dig deep into expressively big string bends. The Bigsby tailpiece, a popular modification during the late ’60s and early ’70s, features a string-through design to simplify your string changes and offers a solid vibrato experience. Performance-grade, vintage-style tuners and a Mustang-style floating bridge keep your tuning in check during long sets at the gig or practice sessions at home. Lastly, a bone nut is installed to further bolster the harmonic resonance of the Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster SH, leading to a highly vibrant instrument with added resonance you can feel.
Fender Designed alnico pickups
When it comes to tone, Fender Designed alnico pickups cover all the bases with sonic authority: chiming highs, rich and warm lows, and a pleasing midrange growl. This guitar’s pickup set and Tone control open a gamut of expressive sounds to fit any genre. From clean jazz and in-the-pocket funk to country and blues rock, you’ll fit in with any project that comes your way. Add in the neck-position humbucking pickup, and your tonal world expands into warmer harmonic overtones full of sustain.
