"Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH"
I think Fender should have given it a more appropriate name... Something like the 'Fender LP'? This guitar has Gibson LP written all over it. From the woods they to used to the fixed neck and pick up choices, the list goes on. I purchased it from Sweetwater and had the neck Plek'd before they shipped it out. I must say this is the smoothest neck have ever played on. I was skeptical about dropping the extra cash on the Plek job, but no regrets. I must say I fell in love with the looks of this guitar before anything else. I was in the market for a 'traditional Tele' when I stumbled on this one (thank you "DVM" ). The more traditional Tele will just have to wait a little longer.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome. Totally a Les Paul-ecaster.

Super cool. Love that color! Remind me what goes into pleking a neck?

Here is the internet definition: "Pleking is the computer-controlled removal of the warped, bowed, or cupped wood sections from a guitar’s fretboard using a Plek machine. This allows for a more genuine, flatter surface on which the strings can vibrate, resulting in optimum playability and sound."
There is a excellent video on YouTube that covers the process in a quite a lot of detail. It can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUm0KbeO-E
Sweetwater gets $299.00 for the service and as far as I am concerned, it's worth every penny.

That is beautiful! I built one very similar. I’m a sucker for that color.

Um, DVM is short for duhvoodooman (or doctor of veterinary medicine). DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles, the last place most people want to spend time, with the possible exception of the dentist's chair.

Thank you, and my apologies!
I believe I may have done that in another post the other day... I have obviously I have typed "DMV" more than "DVM".

It looks awesome! How does it sound?

Thank you! Sounds very LPish. My LP has a pair of Alnico humbuckers and the Fender has Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck position and a Pearly Gates+ at the bridge. I believe the fender has a little more growl all the way around than the LP. I wish I had a Gibson LP to A-B it with. But alas, that comparison will have to wait for now.
