Fender Custom Deluxe

The Fender Custom Deluxe line of instruments from Fender’s Custom Shop are guitars of exceptional craftsmanship, beauty, and artistry. The Fender Deluxe Stratocaster and Telecaster are two masterful example of the Fender Custom Shop’s commitment to superior quality instruments. These guitars come straight from the Fender Custom Shop in Corona California. For over 20 years, the Custom Shop has crafted some of the most refined and soulful guitars available, and now the Fender Custom Shop has delivered yet another classic in the Fender Custom Deluxe line of instruments. Fusing select and premium woods, hand wound pickups, and the skills of Fender’s small team of luthiers, the Fender Custom Deluxe line of guitars are the finest example of what Fender offers to the musical community. These guitars provide all the tone and playability that discriminating players demand, and will command respect on stage or in the studio. Select alder of premium ash woods are used as the foundation of these instruments, providing unsurpassed tone and resonance. The necks of the Fender Custom Deluxe Telecasters and Stratocasters are lightly flamed “A” maple with a 9.5” radius and 22 narrow jumbo frets. Players can choose maple or a dark Indian rosewood fretboard, with rolled fingerboard edges and clay dot inlays. These necks allow players to dig some real soul out of these instruments, and are supremely playable. The pickups are straight from the Fender Custom Shop. The Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster’s neck and middle pickup are Fender Custom Shop ’69 pickups, and the bridge is a Fender Custom Shop Texas Special. The Fender Custom Shop ‘69’s have grey bobbins and the middle is wound/reverse polarity for hum canceling in position 2 and 4. The Texas Special bridge pickup delivers some true Texas tone, and has a mid range character that will add some heft and thickness to your bridge pickup. The Custom Deluxe Telecaster is also equipped with Fender Custom Shop pickups, and have a “Twisted” Tele single coil in the neck, and a Custom Shop Hot Nocaster single coil in the bridge. The bridge of the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster is a 2 point synchronized tremolo and polished stainless steel saddles and block. The Fender Custom Deluxe Telecaster has a custom chrome plated steel bridge plate with plated solid steel saddles. These appointments ensure rich and resonant tone. Deluxe staggered Fender/Schaller tuning machines dispense with the need for string trees, further adding to the tonal richness of these instruments, as well as the unequaled tuning stability of the Fender Custom Deluxe line. A host of finishes are available for the Fender Custom Deluxe instruments and rendered on several layers of nitro lacquer finish, which also contributes to the exceptional tone of these guitars. Choose Lake Placid Blue, Vintage Candy Tangerine, 2 tone Sunburst, or Vintage White or HLE Gold. An Ash body can come with either 2 Tone Sunburst or Aged Cherry Sunburst. The Fender Custom Deluxe’s features add up to an instrument like no other. The finest features of vintage and modern Stratocaster and Telecasters are merged in a guitar of consummate value and extraordinary tonal qualities. This is the Fender instrument you have been seeking your whole life, and now with the Fender Custom Deluxe line of instruments, your dream Stratocaster or Telecaster is ready for you.
