This tour-tested son-of-a-gun is named \"The Cleaver\" for a reason - it positively slashes through the mix with a voice that snarls dirty as well as it sings clean. Previously available only as a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Artist offering, we're proud to announce the Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe—a stripped-down rock machine built for high-octane live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA resonant alder body lays the perfect foundation for bone-rattling, stadium-ready tones. Dressed up in a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this alder body also has a \"belly cut” for superior comfort during the longest sets. Built for speed, the 25.5” scale maple neck features a 12” radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets for fiery leads and silky bends. Pearloid block inlays add a touch of unexpected class to this Tele® - it's a workhorse, but that doesn't mean it can't look good. The real magic lies in the pickups: two Custom Chris Shiflett \"Cleaver\" Noiseless™ CS-90 pickups pair powerful output with the throaty midrange punch and singing highs of a vintage single coil, all without hum. The \"F\"-style tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree with nylon spacer keep things in tune through marathon sets, while the string-through body hardtail bridge enhances resonance and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its workhorse build, versatile voice and road-tested design, the Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe is a must-have for guitarists who demand dynamic, uncompromising tone. Plug in and carve your own path through anything, anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Telecaster®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Style: Solid Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: Large '70s Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer with Gloss Matching Headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Custom Oval \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (305 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Slab Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: White Pearloid Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: White Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Bullet Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: Bullet Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Nut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650\" (42 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size: Medium Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (64.77 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pure Vintage 6-Saddle String-Through Body Hardtail with Bent Steel Saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Mounting: 3-Screw Vintage-Style Hard-Tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 3-Ply Mint Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Skirted Black Plastic with Numbered Indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Aged White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Pure Vintage Fender® “F” Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Trees: Single-Wing with Nylon Spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Plate: 4-Bolt with \"F\" Logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Vintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Chris Shiflett \"Cleaver\" Noiseless™ CS-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Chris Shiflett \"Cleaver\" Noiseless™ CS-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Volume 1 (Neck Pickup), Volume 2 (Bridge Pickup), Tone 1 (Neck Pickup), Tone 2 (Bridge Pickup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-Position Toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 1: Bridge Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 2: Bridge and Neck Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition 3: Neck Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Fender\u003cbr\u003eModel: 117450754\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I795858-N-2-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 885978249312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
