Description
2007 Custom Shop Andy Summers Telecaster in mint condition.
Fender released only 250 of the limited edition Custom Shop Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster as part of the Fender Custom Shop’s legendary Tribute Series. It’s a note-perfect replica of the 1961 Tele that Summers used to help propel the Police to untold heights of worldwide pop superstardom. Built by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Dennis Galuszka over the course of a year, the tele features the same “eccentric” modifications that the original had when Summers first bought it, most of which were unchanged throughout the nonstop work and excitement of the Police years.
Featuring a ferocious humbucking neck pickup, the bridge pickup is mounted in the body rather than in the broken brass bridge plate, control plate-mounted mini-toggle phase switch, body-mounted preamp on/off mini-toggle switch (according to Galuszka; the original preamp ‘died’; the custom shop have recreated the Police-era preamp), “soft” brass bridge pieces and Schaller Tuners.
