Fender Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe; Arctic White: Serial Number: MX13340463 | Second Hand

The Fender Artist Series serves as a collaborative bridge between legendary players and the instruments that define their sound. For Chris Shiflett, whose career spans the high-gain requirements of the Foo Fighters and the nuanced textures of country-rock, this signature model represents a fusion of two distinct musical worlds. It provides a reliable, road-ready platform for players who require the classic Telecaster silhouette but demand the thickness and power of a humbucker-equipped instrument.

Constructed with an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck, the Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe is modeled after Shiflett’s preferred 1972 Deluxe. It features a "C" profile neck topped with a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard, specifically chosen to allow for lower action and effortless string bends across its 21 medium jumbo frets. The hardware configuration includes a vintage-style string-through-body hard-tail bridge for enhanced sustain and tuning stability.

Sonic Performance and Electronics

• Custom High-Output Pickups: Equipped with a pair of custom-designed humbucking pickups voiced to handle heavy saturation while maintaining clarity.

• Independent Control Layout: Features a traditional four-knob configuration, providing dedicated volume and tone controls for both the neck and bridge positions.

• Three-Way Switching: A robust toggle switch allows for quick transitions between pickup configurations, essential for dynamic live performance.

• Hard-Tail Stability: The string-through-body Stratocaster-style bridge ensures maximum vibration transfer and reliable intonation.

Vintage Hardware and Appointments

• '70s Era Aesthetics: Features the iconic "large" Stratocaster headstock and a "bullet" truss rod nut typical of the 1970s Deluxe era.

• Modern Playability: The 12" fingerboard radius offers a flatter surface than vintage models, catering to modern lead techniques and preventing notes from "choking" during bends.

• Signature Branding: Includes Chris Shiflett’s signature stenciled on the rear of the headstock for an authentic artist-spec finish.

• Professional Protection: Ships with a custom-stenciled hardshell case designed for secure transport and long-term storage.

Designed for the touring professional and the dedicated enthusiast alike, the Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe is built to withstand the rigors of the stage. By combining vintage design cues with modern electronic output, this instrument is suited for a wide variety of genres, from aggressive rock to alternative country. It remains a durable, high-performance tool for guitarists who value versatility and classic Fender craftsmanship.
