Fender has just released the Limited-Edition Troublemaker Tele at dealers and on Fender.com. To introduce the new Troublemaker, Fender, featured guitarist John 5 in a demo video, where he is blindfolded and asked to guess what kind of guitar he’s playing.
First debuted at Winter NAMM, the limited edition Parallel Universe Collection offers twisted takes on classic models, surprising updates on vintage machines, and a brand-new Fender body shape destined to warp minds and stimulate new sounds.
This Parallel Universe model features a bound mahogany body with a maple top, custom Cabronita pickguard and lacquer finish–all powered by a pair of ShawBucker 1T and 2T humbucking pickups. The limited-edition Troublemaker Tele ($1,999.99 USD) also features a “Deep C” – shaped all mahogany American Professional Tele neck with large Strat headstock.
