Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Telecaster DLX Closet Classic Aged Violin Burst w/case

Fender Custom Shop Postmodern Telecaster DLX Closet Classic – Aged Violin Burst
Serial: 53423
Weight: 7lbs 6.5oz

This Postmodern Telecaster blends classic ’60s styling with subtle modern refinements—exactly what the Postmodern series does best. The Aged Violin Burst finish in Deluxe Closet Classic treatment gives it a worn-in, gently aged look without heavy relic marks. The ash body keeps things lively and articulate, while the quartersawn maple neck, compound radius, and narrow-tall 6105 frets make it feel fast, smooth, and far more playable than a vintage-correct build.

Under the hood, this one features the Reverse ’51 Modified Nocaster bridge pickup paired with a Hand-Wound Twisted Tele neck pickup, a killer combination that gives you bite, sweetness, and enough mid push to cut a mix. Add in the contoured neck heel, angled bridge pickup route, and modern wiring, and you get a Tele that looks vintage but plays like a completely dialed-in Custom Shop instrument.
