In keeping with the true spirit of Leo’s original vision of the company, each instrument is built with the highest level of care and excellence. Here at Chicago Music Exchange, we have collaborated with the best minds at Fender to build the best instruments from top to bottom, tirelessly going over each spec to ensure that we offer you the best of what Fender has to offer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing measurements and components we hand-selected from across history, our “Chicago Special” Fender Custom Shop guitars highlight important years in the development of core models like the Stratocaster, Telecaster and more. We capture the energy and essence of their respective eras with iconic fingerboard radii and period-correct plastics, matched headstocks and slab fingerboards, classic finishes and not-so-classic colorways. But that’s just the beginning of what makes our Fender Custom Shop guitars so special. We take customization a step further with rift sawn necks for added resonance and expanded control sets for tonal versatility, and every “Chicago Special” Fender Custom Shop guitar features our own custom Chicago Special pickups, designed in conjunction with Fender Custom Shop Vice President of Product Development Mike Lewis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chicago Special\" Tele® pickups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotted in shellac for open wide range frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e43 gauge enamel wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIDGE: Wide diameter AlNiCo 3 magnets combined with thinner 43 gauge enamel wire equals 'hot juicy tone'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNECK: Wide diameter AlNiCo 5 magnets overwound with 43 gauge enamel wire gives high output, clarity, and punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9237100258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/b\u003e R102525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Package:\u003c\/b\u003e Journeyman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eFender Custom Shop Tweed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7lbs 5.3oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eAsh 2-Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Color: \u003c\/b\u003eAged Firemist Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSort for Lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Plating:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\/Nickel Closet Classic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Assembly: \u003c\/b\u003eTele 55-57\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Assembly: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Fat 50s Tele Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Keys:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage with Fender Logo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Guide: \u003c\/b\u003eTele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge: \u003c\/b\u003e.010 - .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e 52 Tele Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eMedium Tint Nitro Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Blank:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple Rift Sawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/b\u003e 50s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Style: \u003c\/b\u003eTele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Head Thickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.575\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Scoop:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDot Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFace Dot: \u003c\/b\u003eMicarta Black .250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Dot: \u003c\/b\u003eMicarta Black 3\/32\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Jescar FW50085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e7.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Back Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/56 \"V\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Nut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.650\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:\u003c\/b\u003e .880\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret: \u003c\/b\u003e.980\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Butt Width: \u003c\/b\u003e2.200\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Micarta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Bolts: \u003c\/b\u003e4 Bolt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Cap Decal: \u003c\/b\u003eVintage Silver Fender Tele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Notes: \u003c\/b\u003eRelic Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e 52 Tele Eggshell Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Neck:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Special Hand-Wired Tele Neck Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Bridge: \u003c\/b\u003eChicago Special Hand-Wired Tele Bridge Relic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs: \u003c\/b\u003eKnurled Chrome Closet Classic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelector Switch Tip: \u003c\/b\u003eTele Relic","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34904335908999,"sku":"9237100258-R102525","price":2301.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/fender-electric-guitars-solid-body-fender-custom-shop-1955-telecaster-chicago-special-journeyman-relic-aged-firemist-silver-9237100258-r102525-17862520176775.jpg?v=1648044302","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-gb\/products\/fender-custom-shop-1955-telecaster-chicago-special-665738","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
