Overview

Telecaster, taken a step beyond.

The Fender Special-Edition Custom Telecaster FMT electric guitar brings together the iconic Tele shape with muscular humbucking tone, for the best of both worlds. The gorgeous bound flame maple top on a solid mahogany body looks fantastic and delivers full, rich resonance. With a set mahogany neck and smooth Modern C profile, it plays incredibly comfortably. But where this Special-Edition Tele really stands out is its versatile tonal palette courtesy of the Seymour Duncan '59/Pearly Gates humbucker pair, which feature a coil tap to toggle between humbucking and single-coil tones. Unleash the Tele twang or crank up the gain—the Fender Special-Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH puts tonal flexibility at your fingertips.

Resonant Tone From Flame Maple Top and Mahogany Body

The Custom Telecaster FMT starts with the iconic Tele body shape, but upgrades to a stunning bound flame maple top on a solid mahogany back. This gorgeous wood combination looks fantastic, catching the light with eye-catching figuring. More importantly, the maple and mahogany construction produces full, resonant tone with plenty of natural sustain and richness. Whether you prefer sparkling cleans or saturated overdrive, this Tele has the organic wood resonance to make your playing sing.

Versatile Tonal Palette with Seymour Duncan Pickups

What really sets this Tele apart is the Seymour Duncan '59/Pearly Gates humbucker pairing. With a warm, vintage-voiced '59 in the neck and hotter output Pearly Gates in the bridge, you've got humbucking tone that covers all the bases. There's enough output and midrange grunt for searing rock leads and massive rhythm crunch. Yet the coil tap—engaged with a push/pull switch on the tone knob—lets you tap into glassy Tele single-coil tones at the flick of a switch. Get chordal twang and sweet, vocal neck pickup tones when you need them. The Fender Special-Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH puts exceptional tonal flexibility at your fingertips.

Smooth Playability with Set Mahogany Neck

The Fender Custom Tele features a comfortable 25.5" scale set mahogany neck. The smooth Modern C profile feels great in your hand, inviting effortless chord changes and solos up and down the 22-fret Indian laurel fingerboard. The mahogany construction provides organic resonance to further enhance sustain. Combined with the silky satin finish on the back of the neck, you'll find this Tele to be a joy to play for hours on end. It offers exceptional comfort and playability to match its bold looks and versatile tone.

Enhanced Sustain with String-Through-Body Bridge

A six-saddle string-through-body bridge enhances resonance and sustain. The strings pass through the body before anchoring to the backside, allowing the entire guitar to vibrate and sing. This adds some extra punch and harmonic complexity to your tone. Combined with the resonant wood construction, you can expect excellent natural sustain—letting your notes ring out with depth and character. When you make an instrument as bold and versatile as the Fender Special-Edition Custom Telecaster FMT, every detail matters. The string-through bridge is the perfect finishing touch.
