Fender 0142400744 Chris Shiflett Telecaster® Deluxe
Chris Shiflett has his feet firmly planted in two worlds, with impeccable punk/hard rock credentials as longtime guitarist in the Foo Fighters and with an authentic love for country, as heard in Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants. His abiding love for the Telecaster guitar and for huge humbucking sound comes together in one kickass instrument with his name on it—the Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe. Modeled on his favorite '72 Tele Deluxe, it's an especially affordable beauty that rocks hard with authentic Fender tone.
Features:
One-piece maple neck with "C" profile, "bullet" truss rod and "large" Stratocaster® headstock
12"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets
Dual custom-designed high-output humbucking pickups
Four control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup)
Vintage-style string-through-body Stratocaster hard-tail bridge
12" Fingerboard Radius
This instrument features a fingerboard radius (the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard) that, at 12", is substantially more flattened than both a vintage-style 7.25" radius and a modern 9.5" radius. Feels notably flat even though there’s still slight curvature, and is great for bending notes without fretting out.
Shiflett Humbucking Pickups
Chris Shiflett’s signature Tele Deluxe is armed with a powerful pair of specially voiced Chris Shiflett "CS" humbucking pickups with nickel covers.
"F"-Stamped Tuners
Chris Shiflett’s Telecaster Deluxe model features the nicely authentic touch of sealed tuners stamped with the stylized capital "F" from the classic Fender script logo.
