The resonant alder body provides the perfect foundation for bone-shaking, stadium-ready tone. Finished with a nitrocellulose finish, this alder body features a "belly cut" for superior comfort during long sets. Designed for speed, the 25.5" scale maple neck features a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets for fierce leads and silky bends. Mother-of-pearl block inlays add an unexpected luxury feel to this Tele®. It's a workhorse, but that doesn't mean it can't look good. The real magic is in the pickups. Two custom Chris Shiflett "Cleaver" Noiseless CS-90 pickups combine the throaty midrange punch and singing highs of a vintage single coil with powerful performance, all without any hum. "F" style tuners, bone nut and wing string tree with nylon spacers ensure proper tuning even in marathon sets, while a through-body hardtail bridge improves resonance and sustain. The Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe features rugged construction, versatile tone and a road-tested design that makes it a must-have for guitarists looking for dynamic, uncompromising tone. Plug it in and you're ready to carve your own path, anything, anywhere.
