- Will ship via FedEx through GearExchange within 2 business days at absolute most, more likely next business day or even same day if purchase is early enough on a business day
- Free shipping within continental U.S. only
- Purchased from Sweetwater in June 2023
- Weight is ~6.4 lbs.
- Near pristine condition- if there are any even light marks to be found on it, I do not see them!
- Will ship in brand new Road Runner RR3EG Avenue II Electric Guitar Gig Bag- padded, albeit lightly, but will pad around the bag inside the box as well
- Last 7 photos are of actual guitar from Sweetwater site prior to purchase, rest were just taken by me
- Upgraded tuners are Genuine Schaller M6 Pin Locking Electric Guitar Tuners, 6-In-Line, Small Buttons, Ruthenium. These sell online in various places for ~$170-$180- I managed to find them for $163+tax when I bought them.
- These locking tuners are a serious upgrade, are some of the nicest I've used. I would have replaced them anyway because I love locking tuners, but the original tuners here to be honest were kind of cheap feeling, albeit they looked cool in that dark chrome. These actually match that color perfectly (same as the bridge hardware), but are very nice in function as well as looks! These tuners were a drop-in, required no extra holes or drilling. As to whether they increase tuning stability is debatable, but it is not debatable that they make string changes SO EASY!
Still sells @ Sweetwater for ~$1,000 new (without gig bag & very nice Schaller locking tuners):

- Strings now installed are .010-.046 D'Addario EXL110
This is a great guitar in looks, playability, sound, and versatility- I hope someone will give it a good home!
Thanks for your interest!

This Ain't Your Father's Tele
You can rock out on a Tele — Jimmy Page proved that. But the Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH takes it to a whole new dimension. A mahogany body topped with eye-popping flame maple delivers a muscular-sounding resonant bite. A pair of high-octane Seymour Duncan humbuckers infuses this Custom Tele with enough vintage-inspired output to thrust your amp into overdrive. It pulls off single-coil tones as well, courtesy of a push-pull coil tap. And this electric guitar's set Indian laurel-capped mahogany neck is built for sustain, speed, and playability. If you're searching for a Tele with a mean streak, you've come to the right place. The Custom Telecaster FMT HH is the right guitar for you.
Flame maple on mahogany — a classic tonewood recipe
Despite its familiar body shape, the Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH isn't your typical Tele. It all starts with a mahogany body. This resonant wood has great musical properties, delivering warmth and sustain by the truckload. An eye-catching flame maple top infuses an already superb tone with a healthy bite, while further enhancing the guitar's sustain. Stylish cream binding completes the look of this exquisite instrument.
Dual humbuckers for fire-breathing rock tones
Thanks to its dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers, the Custom Telecaster FMT HH is a fire-breathing beast. A warm '59 neck pickup evokes a 1950s PAF-style humbucker. This vintage re-creation serves up slightly scooped mids and is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. The Pearly Gates bridge pickup smolders with a sweet yet slightly rude sound that will inject your amp with loads of sustain and harmonics. This Custom Tele features 3-way pickup switching and a push-pull coil tap for achieving spanky single-coil tones.
Set neck yields endless sustain and playability
The Custom Telecaster FMT HH eschews the Tele's usual bolt-on maple neck for a glued-in mahogany version. The warmth and resonance of the mahogany meld beautifully with the set neck's heightened sustain, resulting in a killer tone that takes no prisoners. Beyond that, this neck's Modern "C" shape fills your hand perfectly, and its Indian laurel fingerboard was built for speed.
