There's arguably no other era that delivered as much incredible music as the sixties did. It was the decade that saw rock 'n' roll truly establish itself after its birth in the fifties. The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, and of course The Beatles all wrote their names into musical history. It's these legendary sounds of the decade that Fender have tried to inject into the Custom Closet Classic. And they've really succeeded.
Made to vintage specifications, it's infused with the raw, extremely bright tones that were typical of early sixties rock 'n' roll records. A pair of '63 Tele pickups brings cutting sound and immense power into everything you play. So you can be certain that you'll be heard in even the thickest of mixes. This is classic sound - play with the iconic tone of legends.
So you've got classic sixties tones in abundance. But the Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster also lets you alter your sound to suit you and your music. With 3-way pickup switching, you can change your guitar's voice to meet your needs. Use the neck pickup for thick, roaring power chords, or flick to the bridge for sharp, biting tones that are perfect for making your solos stand out. Or use both at the same time for a unique blend of sounds. The choice is yours.
Rosewood. It's pretty much the Rolls Royce of fretboard materials. Always sought after by guitar makers and players alike, there's nothing quite like it for providing rich sound and superb playability. It delivers an unmistakably warm tone - every note you hit will sound remarkably full. And it feels fantastic beneath your fingers. With a smooth, slick quality, you can easily move from fret to fret without friction. Great for fast-paced playing. This is the pinnacle of playing surfaces.
Seasoned guitarists will know how debilitating hand cramp can be. If you've got a guitar neck that doesn't quite fit in your hand right, it can cause irritating strain. This, over the course of a long show or studio session, can cause numerous problems - you might find you're not playing at your best, or you have to stop altogether.
So Fender have listened to the needs of guitarists all over the world. They've given the 1960 Telecaster a special '60s-style oval "C" neck profile. This intricately designed neck shape provides the ultimate in playing comfort. Completely ergonomic, it'll fit snugly to the contours of your fret-hand. Discomfort? Never again.
Taking your guitar out on the road has never been this stress-free. Every musician worries about the safety of their instrument when having to transport it anywhere. Fender have included a super-durable hardshell Custom Shop case to protect your Custom Closet Classic Tele from the bumps and scrapes that go hand-in-hand with life on the road. Easy to move and incredibly tough, it makes the security of your guitar when travelling from gig to gig one less thing to worry about.
