*PICTURES ARE OF THE ACTUAL GUITAR!*

S/N: US23100948

Weight: 8lbs 2.9oz

The Fender Stories Collection pays tribute to legendary musicians and their modified Fender guitars.

With recording credits stretching across five decades, Brent Mason is one of the most prolific session guitarists of all time, featured on well over 1,000 albums, including hits by Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, Shania Twain and many more. He's also been inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, won a Grammy, earned twelve Guitarist of the Year awards from the Academy of Country Music, is a two-time winner of the CMA® Award Musician of the Year Award and was named one of the top ten session guitarists of all time by Guitar World magazine.

The Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster recreates the prized Tele he discovered in a Nashville guitar shop in the early eighties: a '67 model that had been stripped of its original finish and re-sprayed in gray auto primer. Brent outfitted it with new pickups and controls, as well as a bender system - transforming it into a versatile all-in-one session guitar.

Boasting a Glaser Bender system, Seymour Duncan mini-hum in the neck position, Hot Stack in the middle and Vintage Stack in the bridge, locking Sperzel tuners and Dunlop locking strap buttons - the Brent Mason Telecaster provides the special features, smooth playability and diverse range of tones to nail Brent's platinum Nashville session sound.

Includes deluxe hardshell case.

Features:

• Ash body with Primer Gray satin lacquer finish
• Maple late-'60s "C"-shaped neck with 7.25" radius maple fingerboard
• Seymour Duncan pickups; Mini Humbucking neck pickup, Hot Stack Stratocaster middle pickup and Vintage Stack telecaster bridge pickup
• Glaser Bender system
• Custom switching and wiring

SPECIAL ELECTRONICS

VINTAGE-STYLE NECK

CUSTOM CONTROLS
The 3-way pickup selector switch, master volume, independent middle pickup volume, and push/pull master tone controls offer easy access to a plethora of inspiring tones
