2017 Made in Japan Traditional 70s Telecaster Custom

When you think of Telecasters, you think of that sharp, cutting single-coil sound. But haven't you ever wished for a little more body and warmth?

This model faithfully recreates the 1972 Telecaster Custom.
It meticulously captures the era's details—the larger modern logo, the neck joint featuring a three-point micro-tilt mechanism, and the original humbucking pickup in the front position—to authentically reproduce the original's presence. It goes beyond mere specification replication, delivering a finish that evokes the spirit of the time itself.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the wide-range humbucking pickup positioned at the front. Designed by Seth LaVerre, who worked on the original PAF development at Gibson, this pickup delivers exceptional high-end clarity and well-defined contours despite its humbucking nature, setting it apart from typical humbuckers. Its essence lies in maintaining Fender's signature clarity while offering warmth and body.

The contrast with the rear single-coil pickup is also superb, offering the distinctive Telecaster bite and the rich humbucking sound from the front pickup, all within a single instrument. This versatility, unrestricted by genre, is likely why it garners such high regard not only from players of its era but also from modern musicians and collectors alike.

The Telecaster Custom emerged with a distinct personality and philosophy within Telecaster history. It's a highly accomplished instrument that makes you think, "Can a Telecaster really express this much?"
