Members fixintogo Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I saw two of them at GC today. One black, one orange. Ash body, cream soapbar P-90s, top binding, tinted neck, rosewood board. Big pickguard, 4 amp knobs, through-body strings with a shorty bridge with 6 bent saddles. 3-bolt neck plate, Tele headstock. $649 and $699. Can't find it on Fender.com or GC's site. Anybody??

Here is what I found:http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/302189-new-fender-tele-custom-p90-guitar-center-exclusive.html Bingo!! Thanks, Deadbeat. The Fender MIMs are really stepping up their game. They were strung with the usual flimsy 9s and the action was so low they were choking out on every bend, but it's a nicely put-together package. I'm not nuts about the 3-bolt plate or the bullet, but maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fixintogo Posted December 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'll warn ya in advance: Let your ears and fingers make the decisions, because it's dead sexy. I wanted it before I even picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flatspotter Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Sweet, but would look much better without the giant pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members matt rhoades Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 I played one at gc this past saturday it sounded great. Had a big open sound got me gassing for a p90 equipped guitar. It was burnt orange very classy looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SlipKid Posted May 25, 2012 Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 Just played one an hour or so ago, and demoed it against a Tele HH that was hanging beside it. Played them both through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe on the dirt channel. I like the sound of the p90 Tele a lot, seemed to have a little more depth and character than the humbucker guitar. I'm in the process of selling a couple guitars, and plan to pick up either a p90 or HH Tele (or possibly one of the Jaguar HHs) in the next little while. I'll report back if I get it - the burnt orange one is just awesome looking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted May 27, 2012 Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 It's an FSR Tele built for GC. I've played a few and they've all been really solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkKitty Posted May 27, 2012 Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 If you prefer a Thinline, check out the Modern Player Deluxe. I have one. It's a great Tele. FWIW, it's MIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
