This exciting new instrument is part of another exclusive run of Fender Custom Shop guitars, Masterbuilt exclusively for Make'n Music. The Fender Custom Shop Telemaster is based on an early 50's Esquire / Telecaster platform with a Jazzmaster body shape. A 60's version is also available. Since this model never actually existed, these guitars were designed to look like some kind of lost NAMM show prototype from the Pre-CBS era and they certainly would have been perfectly at home in any vintage Fender catalog. While it may look and feel like a vintage instrument, the Telemaster was designed from the ground up to be true player's guitar with some obvious and not so obvious features. For tonal versatility two additional, specially designed pickups are stealthily hidden underneath the pickguard and the reverse mounted control plate puts the volume and tone knobs in the perfect position for quick adjustments. A 5-way selector switch provides modern switching ability. Additional player friendly specifications include a lightweight Ash body, custom Make'n Music neck profile with 1&11/16 nut width, 9.5 fingerboard radius and 6105 frets, Gatton bridge and saddles for improved intonation and tuning stability. Extremely limited production for 2009. 6lbs, 10oz!

Looks fine indeed. Same pups arrangement as the Stealth Esquire from the late John English.
In the series of reissue of guitars that never existed, I just bought a Cabronita so that's it for 2009. :wink:

Marauder technology in another wrapper :idea: . Never thought it would see the light of day :shock:. Enjoy! Sorry to say that I could not love it. :?
Find myself in the same boat with Alain at present. Perhaps the LE Clapton next year. Have to get there first.

Doc :wink:

I was going to say that too, Doc ;) the only difference being the Marauder had 4 pickups.

Fortunately for my hip pocket I find this guitar quite repellent. I love the Stealth Esquire, though... :)

I much prefer the look of the 60's version.

I was thinking of the Tribute issues as the exceptions, but they are a special case.
