Fresh out of the box (and probably violating some sacrosanct rule about letting a guitar "acclimate" -- hey, I haven't played it, yet!). As promised, here are some pics. The "official" description:
Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Todd Krause has designed an unusual take on the Telecaster for the Classic Player series. The high-performance Classic Player Triple Tele rocks three slanted Nocaster single-coil bridge pickups for truly distinctive modern tone and the classic look of a black finish and pickguard paired with a one-piece maple neck/fingerboard.
Other features include a thick "C"-shaped neck profile, 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage-style frets, five-way Stratocaster-style switching, vintage-style string-through-body bridge with three brass saddles, special Custom Shop neck plate engraving and more. Deluxe gig bag included.
I haven't even taken the plastic off the pick guard. I did note that the black body is very quick to show fingerprints! My first non-MIA guitar. The quality looks pretty good. The truss rod isn't accessible from the headstock, but the fit and finish is very good. I can't judge the weight, but it seems heavier than my Magnificent Seven Light Ash Tele, but perhaps not as heavy as my 2006 60th Anniversary Diamond Edition Tele.
