From the body woods to the finishes and from the pickups to the hardware, it’s a beautiful and exciting evocation of the guitar’s very first model year.The Aged Natural Mahogany model features a select Fiji mahogany chambered body; the Aged Vintage Blonde and Three-Color Sunburst models feature a chambered ash body. Either way, players will delight in a comfortably lighter weight, classic single f-hole and warm, open sound. All three wear a lacquer Journeyman Relic treatment that imparts a “used but not abused” vibe, as if it has been well cared for while changing hands or being handed down over many years of play at home and at the occasional jam session or gig. We’re talking long life but only moderate playing wear—a very lucky find with a touch of spidery finish checking, a few “friendly” down-to-the-wood nicks and dings and some slight hardware aging.The Custom Shop hand-wound Texas Special™ Telecaster neck pickup delivers extra bite with a hint of Stratocaster® punch, while the Custom Shop hand-wound Original Blackguard Tele® bridge pickup provides all the twang and clarity for which early-’50s models are celebrated. A three-way pickup switch and modern Telecaster wiring help send the signal right through the ceiling.The quartersawn maple neck has a ’60-style Oval “C” profile that starts out thinner at the nut and gradually thickens toward the 12th fret for comfortably full feel, capped by a round-lam maple fingerboard with a 9.5” radius, 21 narrow tall (6105) frets, bone nut and period-correct polyurethane finish. Other premium features include a single-ply white Pearloid pickguard, ’67 Telecaster bridge with slotted steel saddles, Schaller® “F” tuners, wing string tree with nylon spacer, deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.Guitar Specs:SERIAL #:CZ565589MODEL #:9236081232SERIES:Time Machine™ORIENTATION:Right-HandCOLOR:Aged Vintage BlondeCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN:USHEADSTOCK:Telecaster®NECK MATERIAL:Quartersawn MapleNECK FINISH:PolyurethaneNECK SHAPE:'60s Oval "C"NECK THICKNESS:.850"NECK BUTT WIDTH:2.200"NECK THICKNESS 12TH FRET:.920"FINGERBOARD RADIUS:9.5" (241 mm)FINGERBOARD MATERIAL:Round-Laminated Quartersawn MaplePOSITION INLAYS:Black Micarta, 0.25" (6.35 mm)SIDE DOTS:Black Micarta, 3/32" (2.38 mm)NUMBER OF FRETS:21TRUSS ROD:Late '60sSTRING NUT:BoneNUT WIDTH:1.650" (42 mm)NUT MATERIAL:BoneBODY:2-Piece Select AshBODY FINISH:WLS UndercoatBODY SHAPE:Telecaster®BODY MATERIAL:2-Piece Select AshBRIDGE:3-Saddle Vintage Style Tele® with Barrel Steel SaddlesPICKGUARD:4-Ply White PearloidCONTROL KNOBS:Knurled ChromeSWITCH TIP:Top Hat Style, BlackHARDWARE FINISH:Nickel/ChromeTUNING MACHINES:Schaller® "F"STRING TREES:American Vintage '56-'58STRINGS:Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406NECK PLATE:4-Bolt with Custom Shop "V" LogoBRIDGE PICKUP:Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special™ Single-Coil Tele®NECK PICKUP:Custom Shop Hand-Wound Texas Special™ Single-Coil Tele®PICKUP CONFIGURATION:SSCONTROLS:Master Volume, Master ToneSWITCHING:3-Position Blade: Position 1.
