The Fender Custom Shop Caballo Tono Telecaster is a masterclass in combining classic style with modern craftsmanship. This limited edition Telecaster redefines what it means to be a tone-heavy workhorse, featuring a harmonious blend of vintage charm and contemporary innovation. At its core, you'll find a dynamic duo of powerful pickups: a TV Jones Classic neck pickup and a hand-wound Texas Special Tele bridge pickup, both of which deliver a spectrum of rich tones that are perfect for both studio recordings and live performances. The Greasebucket tone circuit ensures that you can roll off those highs without losing any of the gain, giving you that smooth, controlled sound.

The Caballo Tono Telecaster doesn’t just sound the part—it looks the part too. It boasts a lightweight alder body with a unique Relic treatment that gives it a beautifully worn-in appearance, as if it's been your trusty companion for decades. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck, adorned with a heavy-Relic treatment, offers supreme playability with its 9.5" radius and 21 narrow jumbo frets. To top it off, this guitar is equipped with a distinctive Cabronita pickguard, a reverse control plate, and a robust Custom Shop RSD bridge. It’s not just a guitar; it's an experience, tailored for those who appreciate the fusion of tradition and innovation.
