Overview
Like its ancestor, the Fender Limited Edition Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom guitar combines the tradition of a single-coil bridge pickup with the supercharged sound of a humbucking neck pickup. This limited-edition version features an ash body, maple neck with three-bolt plate and Micro-Tilt adjustment, maple fingerboard, single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup, Fender Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and a 6-saddle bridge.
Adventurous guitarists started hot-rodding their Telecasters in the late '60s and early '70s with big-sounding humbucking neck pickups that lent new style and swagger to rock music. The Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom brings it all back as an authentic evocation of its early-'70s ancestor, including the distinctive Fender Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, a large pickguard, cool skirted amp control knobs and more. A favorite of players from '70s rock to modern U.K. alt-rock and much more.

"Excellent guitar"

Great playing guitar. Nice neck and Bigsby add to the ease and fun of playing. I did change out the pickups for some brighter and more balanced sound... Brandon Wound pickups did the job! Stock pickups are fine but the sound and ease of playing now equals any American Tele.
Musical Background:
Novice player.
Musical Style:
Rock and blues.
