Here is a Tele I could really get behind!

Image

The Chris Shiflett signature Tele

The thing I hate the most about Teles is that headstock that looks like a limp you-know-what... but this one has the best Fender headstock there is; the 70s large Strat headstock! Nice hi-gain humbuckers too!

May have to check it out!

From what I see you're a fond of those infamous Tele Deluxes CBS did in the 1970s.

Have you already tried the MIM Classic and Classic Player '72 with tremolo?

The original wide-range humbuckers were amazing back in the day but the modern ones are not nearly so good. This guitar appears to have normal humbuckers though.

I remember the real ones lots of kids in the late 70 had those Teles. Get them from thier dads. The guitar did sound awesome. I have wondered about the reissue pickup if it was any good. What pickups does this one have?

I had no idea that Teles ever had these Strat-like headstocks. I have never seen one... only the traditional thin headstock.

Telenator makes reproductions of the original CuNiFe wide ranges.
