Welcome to my auction for this One of a kind Fender Custom Telecaster, This guitar is a Custom Tele with many custom Touches , All The parts are Fender American authorized parts !....I had famed Guitar Luthier to many rock stars Rob bakes (Bakes guitars, Chicago music exchange)Do all the custom touches. I went to Rob to have him Take all the parts I bought and had him create This one of a kind Custom Tele, Dont think cause it wasn't put together by fender custom shop it is not the same quality Many hours were put into making this a winner....trust me my feedback don't lie!
My Luthier Rob Bakes took the guitar and also reliced the whole thing to give it that beat up look that looks Like it has been played for Many years.....He does this with many guitars for many famous people ........he did everything custom from the Official 2008 Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster Body Being reliced more then the factory & the neck being aged to the pick guard to the fralin tele pick ups to the tuners and bridge and hardware being sandblasted and aged.
I Had Victoria Amp Co Do all the Vintage wiring On this Guitar.....Victoria Does Vintage Fender Amps anything fender is their forte and who better to wire Up a Tele then The Actual Lady Who Builds The Victoria amps.She has all the Old wiring Diagrams For tele's and Wired It Up Like The Old School Tele's Of the 50's.......Best Of both worlds...great Luthier set up and reliced the guitar...Great Amp company Victoria Wired It Up......Best Guitar I have Ever Done!!!!!
(This Not Joe strummer guitar..it is Just the body and Neck Plate..everything else Is custom Parts!!!)
This guitar would run you $2500~$3000 if you bought it and it had the custom shop And fender logo on it.
The guitar also has a real 38 bullet in the front of the body this is why I call it the Leadcaster...I had my Friend shot it to see what it would look like and the body was so strong the bullet just got lodged in there..... I had my Luthier take it and pull it to the surface to show it like a symbol or just a awesome look on a guitar like this. it really looks awesome and I would like to believe it gives it a sustain and different ring to the wood No other tele would have seeing there is a
Real 38 slug embedded in the Back of the body!
L@@k for the pic of the body and 38 bullet right behind the bridge!
****The Little decortive Pin Inbetween the olume and tone Knob Comes right off if your not into it...I thought it looked cool****
Trust me this guitar plays and feels just like a custom shop and has a Killer twang to it...also the Lindy Fralin Tele pick~ups with the Angela capacitor make this scream rock n roll and country!
Please read all about each parts on the guitar..trust me it is worth every penny I spent to build it and have it just right!

Saddles: Glendale Intone Brass Cutting Edge set. Three Brass...All Glendale saddle sets are compensated!!!
Absolutely the best compensated saddles made for the Telecaster! First of all, I made the Intone Cutting Edge saddles for me as a guitar player. I carefully thought out and designed what I truly believe will soon become the world's most popular saddles. They are designed so that the ends of the saddles touch. I chose to make them this way because it
minimizes movement and helps with the overall sound. It took a lot of time, effort and looking at things in a new way to come up with this design. The E/A is even longer on the E string side, for more string clearance. The edges are designed to touch at the top and not at the bottom. This is a huge improvement. This new relief will allow you to follow the radius of your guitar neck without causing the saddles to separate. Precision machined from billet. State of the art CNC machining center.
All three saddles line up perfectly, and are cut so that the edges line up straight. They offer solid Brass, Stainless Steel, Hardened Steel, Titanium, and Aluminum saddles. My goal is perfect intonation (within .1 Hz) on all six strings. The height adjustment screws are tilted back to keep them off the bridge-plate screws. They are also rounded on the bottom. I use a #4 height adjustment screw with a dome bottom for two reasons. They are not as wide as the traditional #6 screw, so you get more string clearance. The dome bottom insures that you get the best contact to your bridge-plate. Fillister head intonation screws, springs, and Allen head height adjustment screws are all stainless steel. Stainless steel hardware means that oil and sweat from your hands will not cause corrosion of the parts - leaving them easy to adjust for the life of the guitar. These saddles can be installed on any vintage style Tele bridge-plate with no modifications required. My Intone saddles come with directions, one Allen wrench, three springs, six dome bottom #4-40x3/8" height adjustment screws, two short dome bottom screws #4-40x5/16" and three intonation screws.
