This black Tele is a unique model from the Factory Special Run series by Fender. It is based on the Mexican Classic series '72 Telecaster Custom, but is equipped with a set of P90 elements for a somewhat warmer sound. In addition, the body was given an elegant cream-colored binding all around, as with the "thinline" models. In short, an affordable Fender Telecaster Custom with some very attractive upgrades compared to the standard factory models. This Limited Edition version is only available to a limited extent and is used up. So be quick!
FSR '72 Telecaster Custom P90: vintage-correct details
The '72 Telecaster Custom is characterized by a large pickguard that runs from the top to the electronics and a humbucker at the neck. However, two P90 elements have been used for this FSR version. As a result, the characteristic "ashtray" bridge has been replaced by a Strat-style fixed bridge with six adjustable saddles and "string-through-body" construction. Like a real seventies Tele, this model also has a 21-frets neck that is attached to the alder body with three screws, including the Micro-Tilt adjusting screw. And of course the vintage-style "F" tuners and period-correct Fender logo on the head should not be missing.
Double P90 elements
The Telecaster Custom distinguishes itself from the more traditional Telecaster by its large "thinline" style pickguard plus different elements and electronics. This FSR version also received two P90 single-coils instead of a Wide Range humbucker at the neck and standard single-coil in the bridge position. These elements offer you the best of both worlds. They combine the rich cleansing and "spank" of a single coil with the warm, full sounds of a humbucker. Furthermore, the three-position element switch has been moved obliquely above the neck element, and both elements have their own volume and tone control.
