Fender Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar with Alder Body (Dakota Red)

On the largest, loudest venues in the world, Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters consistently blazes through a complete brigade of guitar tones. The reason this tried-and-true instrument is called 'The Cleaver' is because it slays the mix with a voice that sings cleanly and snarls nasty. Fender is pleased to present the Fender Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe 6-String Right-Handed Electric Guitar in Dakota Red, a stripped-down rock instrument designed for intense live performance that was previously exclusively available as a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Artist offering.
A League of its Own
Bone-rattling, stadium-ready tones are made possible by a resonant alder body. This alder body is adorned with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and features a 'belly cut' for optimal comfort throughout the longest sets. With a 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets for fiery leads and smooth bends, the 25.5-inch scale maple neck is designed for speed. Pearloid block inlays give this Tele a surprising sense of elegance. Despite being a workhorse, it can yet have a stylish appearance. Two Custom Chris Shiflett 'Cleaver' Noiseless CS-90 pickups combine a powerful output with the throaty midrange punch and singing highs of a vintage single-coil, all without hum, making the pickups the true magic. Throughout lengthy sets, the ‘F’-style tuning machinery, bone nut, and wing string tree with nylon spacer maintain harmony, and the string-through body hardtail bridge improves sustain and resonance. For guitarists who want dramatic, unwavering tone, the Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe is an essential tool due to its robust construction, adaptable sound, and tried-and-true design. Shiflett's hard-hitting style is matched by this stage-ready Tele. Connect and construct your own route via any obstacle or location. A vintage-style brown gig bag featuring Chris Shiflett's signature graphic (with an amber interior) is included with the guitar.
