The Fender Custom Shop presents an extraordinary Limited-Edition, the Telecaster® Custom DLX Closet Classic. This masterpiece begins with a carefully selected offset seam roasted two-piece ash body, finished in nitrocellulose lacquer for superior resonance and vintage appeal.
The neck is crafted from premium 3A Birdseye maple, topped with a 3A rosewood fingerboard and vintage clay dot inlays. The 21 medium jumbo frets (6150) provide excellent playability across the neck. A bone nut ensures optimal tone transfer and tuning stability.

The innovative four-position switching system offers unprecedented tonal flexibility: Bridge pickup with no blend, Bridge pickup with neck blend, Neck pickup with no tone cap, and Neck pickup with fixed tone cap.
