Description
This Guitar Ships FREE in the USA!
“My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac …” a 1959 12-bar blues song by Vince Taylor, originally released as a B-side and later covered by many groups and rocked up good ‘n nasty by The Clash in 1979. What does that have to do with this Fender® Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Telecaster®?
Well, Cadillac released the Dakota Red finish in 1958. This song comes out in ’59. Coincidence? Maybe – but I’m willing to bet the Caddy that inspired this great tune was rockin’ the same sweet Dakota Red finish as this axe! And once you get your hands on the smooth satin finish and notice how the beautiful AA Birdseye Maple neck, rosewood board and black pick guard accentuate the dark red contours of the Ash body, you’ll know this is truly the Cadillac of guitars. The large “V” neck is full and fat but very playable, and the heel carve allows for excellent upper fret access. Unplugged, you’ll find this guitar exhibits incredible sustain and resonance.
Plug in and the Twisted Tele pickup in the neck will reward you with a very clear but not overly dark tone that gives up Blues at its dirtiest when overdriven. The middle position is a good blend of neck and bridge pickups with a noticeable mid hump – perfect for belting out those harder edged Southern Rock tunes. Switching over to the Duncan BG-1400 pickup in the bridge yields classic Tele twang with sting and a firm growl when pushed, reminding me of Mike Campbell’s tone on those great old Tom Petty songs.
Like the ultra-smooth Caddy’s of old, this guitar is not for the shredder. Rather, this one is for the player who really likes to dig in and wring every last drop out of each note. Plug in and enjoy the ride …

case candy, certificate of authenticity
