This one is our newest take on a late 1954 Fender® Telecaster - with just a few VIP twists to make it even cooler.
The lightweight, hand selected alder body was lacquered and reliced in the most amazing color - Bubblegum Pink - 100% nitro by our friends at MJT (our go-to shop for vintage style paint jobs). And who can't resist an original 50s pinup waterslide? The neck is one of our VIP Custom one piece roasted maple necks, with a chunkier 1954 profile (approx, .90" at the first and .94 at the 12th fret) with a 9.5" radius for easy bends, lacquered in satin nitro.
It comes with our own custom made "VIPlate" bridge plate with reversed pickup orientation and custom made titanium (!) saddles.
True to the vision, we added a set of our T5.3 Tele pickups, which are our version of mid-50s Fender Telecaster pickups. The pickups are controlled by a set of matching 280k VIPots and a .047 MFD ceramic disc cap plus.
This is a fantastic playing, sounding, and looking guitar! What a stunner in every way!
Comes with one of our coveted VIP hoodies and a hardshell case.
Like with all guitars, you may have to adjust the setup to your liking. As of now, it is set up with D'Addario 10s and plays effortlessly with low action.
