This one is our ideal version of a modified early 60s Fender® Telecaster that was "upgraded" with a real vintage Gibson T-Top humbucker in the neck position.
The body was carved from hand selected alder and has been tastefully lacquered and reliced in tangerine metallic nitro by our friends at MJT (our go-to shop for vintage style paint jobs). The original 50s pinup waterslide gives it an extra edge. The neck is an Allparts TRO-W maple neck with a dark Indian Rosewood fretboard that was also nitro finished by MJT.
We equipped this guitar with our own custom made "VIPlate" bridge plate with reversed pickup orientation and custom made titanium saddles. The 3-ply pickguard was custom made and aged by Montreux.
The bridge pickup is our own handwound "Fang" model, the neck pickup is a real vintage Gibson T-Top humbucker that we rewound to LOVERS specs. We also installed a set of matching 280k VIPots and a .022 MFD ceramic disc cap.
This VIP T-style plays so well, sounds so good, and looks - I mean, you'll be the coolest kid on your block with this stunning guitar!
Comes with one of our coveted VIP hoodies.
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.
