Model History:
The Telecaster Custom introduced the Seth Lover humbucker in the neck position as Fender’s answer to players needing a more versatile sound in the 1970s. This blend of classic Tele twang with the warmer, fuller sound of the humbucker made it a favorite for genres ranging from country to rock.
