Fender JV Modified '60s Custom Telecaster, Firemist Gold Overview

The JV Modified Series combines classic aesthetics with modern playability to suit the needs of today’s guitarist. Taking cues from the now highly sought-after “Japanese Vintage” reissues from the early ‘80s, JV Modified guitars are a refined take on a modern classic.

The ’60s Custom Telecaster has a resonant basswood body and is double bound for a touch of elegance. Its dual single-coil pickups are voiced to deliver classic Tele tone. A 4-way switch allows players to quickly select each pickup individually or both pickups in either series or parallel wiring. A push-pull pot on the tone control allows players to flip the pickups in and out of phase in switch positions 2 and 4. The Soft "V"-shaped maple neck has a silky-smooth satin finish and plays effortlessly thanks to the 9.5" radius maple fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets.

For the player seeking classic Fender instruments with a twist, the JV Modified Series delivers a unique combination of vintage Fender style and modern playability.

A fantastic guitar that is incredibly well put together. The attention to detail and quality of the manufacturing is clearly better than the last two American made guitars that I bought. Fretwork and setup are especially good straight out of the box. Pickups are a little brighter that some Teles that I've owned, can be good or bad depending on taste. I know the Basswood body may be controversial for some but it does make a great light weight (7lb 3oz) guitar that's nice and resonant.
