A twist on classic Tele tones
This Telecaster delivers unique and twisted tones. Equipped on this model are Dual Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups, specially designed to bring out the best in each position to create a unique sonic character. The neck position is higher, allowing for more windings, while the bridge is slightly shorter to create a dark, full-bodied midrange. When combined, these pickups are responsible for the Telecaster's hot high-output tone with a touch of sparkling Strat character.
Its fat '50s wiring enhances the overall voicing of the instrument by increasing the clarity, transparency, and responsiveness of the volume and tone controls. Unlike typical guitar wiring, which can result in a loss of treble when the volume is rolled back, the fat '50s maintains the clarity, resulting in a more even and sumptuous sound. Additionally, the increased transparency and bloom provided allows for a wider range of dynamic expression and tonal versatility, making it ideal for guitarists looking for an unparalleled quality.
Craftsmanship like no other
Not only does this Tele have a unique sound, but it also features incredible craftsmanship that is guaranteed to enhance your playing experience. Its select ash body is split into two pieces, highlighting an off-centre seam with luxurious parchment binding, adding a touch of style to the guitar's already beautiful appearance. Additionally, the one-piece rift-sawn maple neck boasts a '57-style Soft “V” profile which is truly comfortable, enabling you to transition seamlessly between different musical genres.
Making volume adjustments during a performance is a breeze with this Twisted Telecaster, thanks to its reverse control plate, which moves the volume control to a more accessible location. This allows you to easily make volume swells and other effects without interrupting your performance. As a result, you can play seamlessly and focus on giving the best without worrying about technicalities.
Vibrant tailpiece
The Bigsby B5 is more than just a stunning addition to any guitar. It offers numerous benefits that can enhance your performance and take your playing to the next level. This vibrato tailpiece adds an unparalleled shimmer to your sound. With its unique design, it creates a pedal steel-like effect that is difficult to achieve with other types of vibrato systems. Add depth and character to your playing, making it more expressive and emotive.
Furthermore, the B5 is extremely responsive, allowing you to bend notes and manipulate your sound in ways that are difficult to achieve with fixed bridge guitars. This can expand your sonic palette and bring new life to your playing. Not only does it add dimension, but it is also an eye-catching accessory. Its unique shape and design can add a touch of vintage style to any guitar. Stand out from the crowd.
