1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster, as the venerable design spawned options and new designs left and right. The Custom took a classic alder or ash body (depending on finish) and added a C-shape maple neck, bullet truss rod, vintage string-thru Tele bridge and 3-bolt neckplate brought to life by a Wide Range humbucking neck pickup and a traditional single-coil bridge pickup. Controls include 2 volume and 2 tone knobs plus a 3-way toggle switch. Black/white/black pickguard.
