The Story

1959 Custom Telecaster Black and HLE Gold

The concept of a 'two-tone' Tele taken to the next level! This is a Music Zoo-spec'd 1959 Custom Tele with a combination finish of Black for the body and headstock paired beautifully with HLE Gold for the neck matched with gold hardware and a gold anodized pickguard. For pickups - we went with a DiMarzio Area T in the neck position with a hot-sounding Chopper T blade pickup in the bridge. For those looking for a one-of-a-kind Tele that doesn't look or sound like anything else, it's hard to beat this one.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
