Fender Custom Shop 2022 MBS 60’s Telecaster Closet Classic Master Built by Paul Waller

This is a “60’s Telecaster Closet Classic” model in Lake Placid Blue, built by master builder Paul Waller.

Based on specifications from the early 1960s, this vintage-spec guitar features a combination of 7.25R radius and Vintage Upgrade frets, as well as a slab-laminated rosewood fingerboard and wide-spaced clay dot position markers at the 12th fret. This configuration has become relatively rare in recent years.

Weighing just 2.99 kg, it is extremely lightweight and is equipped with a hand-wound “Twisted Tele” pickup set by Josefina Campos.

There is a small, 1.5 mm paint chip in the finish on the body side (near the jack), but no other noticeable damage. Overall, it is in good condition and plays well.
