USA Fender Texas Special Pickups

One of the defining features of the TL62B-75TX is its factory-installed USA Fender Texas Special Telecaster pickup set.

The Texas Specials provide increased output and a stronger midrange presence while retaining the clarity, attack, and unmistakable character associated with a Telecaster.

The bridge pickup delivers plenty of bite and definition, while the neck pickup offers a warmer, rounder voice without sacrificing articulation. Together, they give this Tele plenty of versatility for everything from clean country and roots tones to blues and overdriven rock.

’62 Telecaster Custom Styling

The double-bound alder body gives this model the elegant appearance associated with the early-’60s Telecaster Custom.

The contrasting binding frames the 3-Tone Sunburst finish, while the rosewood fingerboard, vintage-style 3-saddle bridge, and traditional control layout complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Neck & Playability

The maple neck features a comfortable “C” profile, measuring .83" at the 1st fret and .96" at the 12th, with a measured 1.65" nut width.

Its 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 vintage-style frets provide the traditional feel associated with early-’60s Fender designs.

At 7 lbs 14 oz, the guitar feels substantial without being overly heavy and balances comfortably in the playing position.

Tweed Hard-Shell Case

A tweed hard-shell case is included for storage, transport, and shipping.
