2016 Fender Telecaster Thinline Custom Shop NOS All Rosewood Masterbuilt by Greg Fessler ~ Natural

Every once in a while a guitar comes along that makes grown adults whisper, “No way…”

Then they pick it up, realize it’s made almost entirely of rosewood, has a Bigsby, an F-hole carved into the top, Greg Fessler’s signature on the headstock, and suddenly they’re standing in the corner Googling, “Can you survive on ramen until retirement?”

This isn’t your average Telecaster.

This isn’t even your above-average Telecaster.

This is the Telecaster that other Telecasters secretly follow on Instagram.

If George Harrison and Ron Burgundy designed a Tele together after spending a weekend in a woodshop… this would probably be the result.

It’s ridiculously elegant, unapologetically cool, and somehow manages to look both vintage and futuristic at the same time. The grain in this rosewood is absolutely mesmerizing. You’ll find yourself staring at it between songs wondering if you should be playing it… or framing it.

Then you hit one chord through those hand-wound ’67 pickups…

…and suddenly all those practical life decisions you’ve made seem wildly overrated.

Condition

Born on May 25th, 2016 and still in collector’s condition. Honestly, I’m not convinced this guitar has ever experienced anything more stressful than having someone admire it under really good lighting.

The NOS finish remains exceptionally clean, the frets are pristine, the hardware shines beautifully, and the entire instrument presents exactly the way you’d hope a Greg Fessler Masterbuilt would.

If you’re the type who studies grain patterns longer than most people watch Netflix, congratulations… you’ve found your soulmate.

Included

Comes complete with the original Fender Custom Shop case, Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity, Masterbuilt Certificate, and the original case candy.

Finding a Masterbuilt Telecaster isn’t difficult.

Finding a Greg Fessler Masterbuilt is considerably harder.

Finding an all-rosewood Thinline with a Bigsby, gorgeous natural grain, hand-wound pickups, collector condition, and every piece of paperwork still intact…

…that’s about as common as finding a drummer who says, “Nah… I think I’m playing a little too loud.”

Good luck with both.

Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!
