Personal Thoughts:
This Custom Shop ’52 Telecaster reissue takes the iconic blueprint of Leo’s original design and adds a few subtle modern touches for playability. The ash body delivers punch and clarity, while the roasted quartersawn maple neck provides rock-solid stability and resonance. The ’65 Strat C carve feels instantly familiar and comfortable — slimmer and faster than the traditional ’52 U profile.
With its 10" radius and narrow tall frets, bends and fast runs feel effortless, while still retaining that Tele snap and twang. The hand-wound pickups deliver classic Tele bite and sparkle, equally at home on clean passages or through a driven amp.
Finished in a tastefully aged Daphne Blue relic, this guitar has all the vibe of a well-loved vintage piece but with the flawless playability of a Custom Shop build.
