This Bigsby-equipped Tele Is Ready for Action

This Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster Custom is an absolute treat for the senses. This solidbody electric guitar is built upon a 2-piece select ash body with spotlight-ready parchment binding, a single-ply parchment pickguard, and an eye-popping Journeyman Relic lacquer finish. Wrapping your fretting hand around this Tele's 1-piece, rift-sawn maple neck is pure delight, thanks to its '57-style Soft "V" back shape, and its 21-fret, 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard makes the perfect springboard for your high-flying fretboard pyrotechnics. Plug this limited-edition axe into your amp of choice, and its hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups will dish out punchy single-coil tones by the truckload. You also get Fat '50s wiring and a reverse control plate with a 3-way switch. To top it off, this Twisted Telecaster Custom boasts a Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece, vintage-style tuning machines, and a wing-style string tree. Tele aficionados searching for the perfect centerpiece for their guitar collections will find exactly what they've been pining for in this Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster Custom.

Built for effortless playability

Once you get your hands on this Twisted Telecaster Custom, you're not going to want to put it down. Whether you're sitting in your practice room or standing onstage, its 2-piece select off-center seam ash body offers old-school comfort that's impossible to resist. Its ultra-stable rift-sawn maple neck boasts an addictive '57-style Soft "V" back shape, and its 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard ensures effortless, lightning-fast playability. Moreover, 21 narrow-tall frets enable you to bend judiciously with zero worries about fretting out.

Your home for punchy single-coil tones

One thing that'll be clear from the first time you plug in is that this Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster Custom packs more punch than a standard Tele. That's because this limited-edition solidbody electric guitar comes loaded with a pair of Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickups. These unique pickups 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 Twisted Tele Custom also features Fat '50s wiring, a reverse control plate, and a 3-way pickup selector switch.

The original Bigsby vibrato

One of the original vibrato designs on the market, this Twisted Telecaster Custom's Bigsby B5 is the tried-and-true choice for flat-top solidbody electrics from all makers. You'll love the smooth action and great sound of the Bigsby in action. Sweetwater guitar players rank the Bigsby as one of the most iconic vibrato sounds in history. From slight vibratos to dipped chords, the B5 is the perfect choice for any flat-top guitar.
