Provenance

Why this one made the wall

We specced this '64 Telecaster Custom live on our podcast, in an episode where we sat down and built dream guitars on paper. The Fender Custom Shop built it for real.

The body is two-piece alder, bound top and bottom in tortoise and finished in 3-Tone Sunburst Sparkle. NOS, so no aging. A four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and gold hardware throughout set it off.

The pickups are a pair of gold Lollartrons, Jason Lollar's Filter'Tron-style humbucker, in place of the usual Tele single-coils. They sit ahead of a chopped Tele 3-saddle bridge.

The neck is roasted quartersawn maple with a slab ebony board, white pearloid block inlays, a 9.5" radius and 6150 frets. The profile is a '60s oval "C", .790" at the first fret and .930" at the twelfth. It weighs 8 lb 4 oz.

One of a kind.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses our bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Our tech's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
