The Story

Snakehead Telecaster Masterbuilt Paul Waller 2-Color Sunburst 2019 NAMM Display

From right off of the wall of the 2019 NAMM show comes this amazing one-off Snakehead Tele built by masterbuilder Paul Waller, with a 2-color sunburst finish. The Snakehead is made in the image of the first prototype Tele that Fender had made, complete with a 3x3 headstock design and a thin 1.5" pine body. The guitar has two sparkling sounding Josefina handwound pickups, and a vintage fret size with 9.5" radius for a nice combination of authenticity combined with a slightly modern feel.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
