Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH Black Cherry Sunburst

What Fender have to say:

The rather scorching and aesthetically appealing Custom Telecaster FMT HH guitar features a carved flame maple top with cream binding, a set neck, two Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, a string-through body hard-tail bridge, three-way switching and a pull/push coil tap. This guitar is extremely versatile and can handle most things you can throw at it with the coil tap on the two Seymour Duncan Humbuckers you can get warm full tones in hum bucking mode and twangy tele like sounds with the coils split.

Construction

The main wood used on the body of this guitar is mahogany which is widely used for guitar bodies and necks by various manufacturers but rarely from Fender. Mahogany provides prominent overtones and a rich midrange and works extremely well paired with the Maple Cap as it emphasises a sweet and clear high-end. Joined to the body with have a mahogany neck, glued rather than bolted to provide as much sustain as possible, the mahogany neck cut to a comfortable modern C profile fits snug in your hands and makes playing in area on the neck a joy.

Pickups

Bridge(Pearly Gates):The Pearly Gates bridge pickup captures all the mojo of the original bridge pickup from Billy Gibbons' 1959 Les Paul. Seymour discovered the pickup had slightly more output than most PAFs, which helped to give it the extra drive that makes this pickup so special. The Alnico 2 bar magnet keeps the high end sounding airy but focused, and the midrange emphasis gives it a unique Texas sizzle. Pinch harmonics really sing with this pickup too.
Neck('59): The '59 Model neck pickup is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pickups because it's so versatile. It's designed in the spirit of the original PAF humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, full-sounding chords, clear and bright attack, but we've made a few refinements to slightly modernize the design and make it more adaptable to different styles.
Both of these high quality pickups paired with the coil tap circuit make this guitar not only sound fantastic for one style of music but most, allowing you to achieve not only warm humbucking sounds but also bright and vibrant single coil sounds.
