Description
For the player who finds beauty in the details and meaning in every note, the Fender Custom Shop Stamp Collection Telecaster offers more than just impeccable tone; it tells a story. Born from Fender CEO Andy Mooney's lifelong stamp collection (a project he began with his father), this guitar is part of a global tribute that marries world culture with elite craftsmanship. Each piece in the Stamp Collection represents one of the world's 195 nations, and this Lesotho edition proudly carries that spirit through its rich artistic expression and masterful build.
Embedded with 100 authentic stamps from the Republic of Kenya, the body becomes a canvas of heritage and storytelling, transforming this Telecaster into a one-of-a-kind homage to history and connection. But make no mistake, this is a full-fledged performance machine. An alder body provides tonal balance and warmth, paired with a satin-finished modern "C" maple neck and a rosewood slab fingerboard that feels instantly familiar in hand. Equipped with Fender's Yosemite single-coil pickups and a classic 3-way switching setup, it delivers all the bite, twang, and clarity that define the Telecaster legacy; from country snap to indie shimmer and bluesy bite.
The 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo frets offer modern comfort and playability, making it effortless to bend, slide, and dig in with expressive control. Tuning is held steady by Fender ClassicGear machines, while the 6-saddle bridge ensures spot-on intonation and sustain. It's built for the studio, the stage, and the soul.
Adding to its symbolism, the guitar features a custom neckplate designed by Rose Mooney-a delicate flower etched into metal, quietly representing peace. It's a subtle yet powerful reminder of music's ability to unite across borders, echoing John Lennon's enduring vision of harmony through art.
The Custom Shop Stamp Collection Telecaster is a rare fusion of culture, creativity, and craftsmanship. It's not just a guitar; it's a celebration of global unity, handcrafted detail, and timeless tone. At Cream City Music, we're proud to offer instruments that go beyond expectation; this one plays like a dream and inspires like a masterpiece.
