Combining vintage style with modern luxuries, the Limited Edition Tomatillo Tele uses underwound Tomatillo Tele pickups with Alnico 2 magnets to deliver sweet, flavorful tone.
The combination of a two-piece select ash body with one-piece rift-sawn maple neck is perfect for allowing all the subtle nuances of the pickups to shine through while playing. The neck features a ’57-style “soft V” profile, vintage compound compound radius fingerboard (7.25”- 9.5”) and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets. The Tomatillos are wired up to a ’51 Modified Nocaster wiring with a blender pot instead of master tone. A Fat ’50s control assembly ships in the case for those who prefer that sound and style.
Additional features include a single-ply parchment pickguard, reverse-angle Nocaster bridge with compensated RSD brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut and disc string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity.
