Classic Series 72 Telecaster Custom, Black with Maple Neck

‘72 Telecaster® Custom
1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster® guitar, which was then available in several new designs and with more options than ever before.

The ’72 Telecaster Custom features many of those options, including an alder or ash body (depending on finish), a C-shaped maple neck, bullet truss rod, ’70s vintage hardtail strings-through Strat® bridge, three-bolt neckplate, a Wide Range humbucking pickup at the neck and a traditional single-coil pickup at the bridge.
