Hello,

I just bought this wonderful Tele. As you know, the Tele is 60 years old this year. Coincidentally I will be as well. I wanted to buy myself a Tele this year for my birthday. Well, that came early. My birthday is in October and I just bought this Todd Krause Masterbuilt Tele that was at the NAMM 2011 show from Lauzon Music in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

That being said, I would like to know some info on the guitar. How many were made like this? Is it a one-off? What inspired the project?

This is my first Custom Shop Guitar. I have owned many Fenders mostly Strats over my 45 years of playing. I still play professionally and have 6 Strats of various models. Last year we were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

I would like to thank Todd and Fender Custom Shop for a wonderful, enjoyable to play guitar and let him know where it ended up.

Cheers

interesting spec document with the COA.

I've always thought it would be really cool if that type of spec sheet came with every MB guitar (well, dont necessarily need the price but the spec info would be great).

Is it only limited runs that come with that type of sheet - I have never seen one before.
