Description
The Fender Limited Edition Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe is the ultimate stage companion for guitarists ready to command center stage. Designed to deliver everything from grit and snarl to clean lead tones, this rock-solid axe embodies the raw energy of Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett and is crafted for high-octane performances.
Built from resonant alder and finished with a Charcoal Frost Metallic nitro lacquer, this Tele is as stylish as it is comfortable, with a "belly cut" contour that fits naturally against your body. The maple neck features a custom Oval "C" profile for smooth, effortless play, while the 12" radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets offer the perfect surface for rippin' solos and fluid bends. Its large '70s-style headstock and white pearloid block inlays harken back to Fender's golden era, bringing a retro element to this no-nonsense powerhouse.
Fueling this guitar is a pair of Custom Chris Shiflett "Cleaver" Noiseless CS-90 pickups, designed to deliver the perfect rock sound. These pickups churn out a punchy midrange with crystal-clear highs and thick, meaty lows, letting you move seamlessly from growling distortion to bell-like clarity without hum. The pure vintage 6-saddle string-through bridge and "F" stamped tuners take things a step further by enhancing tuning stability and sustain, keeping you performance-ready from the first song to the final note.
This Tele comes with a Vintage Style Brown hardshell case, complete with an amber interior and Shiflett's signature graphic, making it perfect for guitarists seeking a top-notch collector's piece.
