Description
This 2017 Fender Brad Paisley Road Worn Telecaster with Locking Tiners Upgrade has been previously owned and is in good cosmetic shape with noticeable wear. A working musician’s instrument, this factory reliced guitar also shows scratches, dings, finish checking and spots of discoloration that only enhance its already cool, road worn vibe. Tons of mojo! Drill holes on the back of the headstock where the original tuners were mounted can be detected, while three small holes and a small area of scarring can be seen on its top (closeup shown in pic 22). These imperfections are cosmetic in nature only and do not affect the functionality of the instrument. Very structurally sound! Neck is straight as an arrow and first few frets show light wear. Looks, plays and sounds great! Comes in its original gig bag.

The custom-wound ’64 Tele bridge pickup and Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup provide the perfect balance of warmth, clarity, and twang. Its silver sparkle Road Worn lacquer finish and aged hardware give this guitar a road-tested aesthetic, while signature details like the paisley-patterned clear pickguard and cowboy hat insignia add a distinctive flair. This Telecaster is built for performance, delivering the authentic tone and feel that defines Nashville’s finest.
Lightweight Fender Telecaster Body With Acoustic-Like Resonance
The body of this guitar is crafted from a paulownia core capped with a spruce top, creating an ultralight yet robust design. The combination of these tonewoods delivers a lively, open resonance reminiscent of an acoustic instrument, making it highly responsive to dynamic playing. The spruce top adds a bright, articulate quality to the overall tone, while the lightweight paulownia core ensures extended playing comfort. Finished in a relic nitrocellulose lacquer, this instrument exudes a worn-in character, complete with visual charm and tonal depth. The result is a Telecaster that’s as comfortable on stage as it is in the studio.
Custom Wound Pickups for Classic Telecaster Tone
This model features a custom-wound ’64 Tele bridge pickup paired with a Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele neck pickup, offering a versatile tonal range. The bridge pickup delivers punchy, articulate twang with a crisp attack, while the neck pickup provides warm, rounded tones with enhanced clarity. Together, they create a balanced output that’s perfect for everything from rhythm playing to soaring solos. A simple yet effective control layout, including master volume and tone knobs and a 3-way pickup selector, allows for precise tonal adjustments, ensuring players can dial in the perfect sound for their performances.
Enhanced V Neck Profile for Effortless Playability
The maple neck on this guitar features an Enhanced V profile, designed for optimal comfort and effortless navigation across the fretboard. The shape fills the hand comfortably at the nut, making chords easy to fret, while it flattens out in the upper registers to facilitate smooth soloing. Its 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets support fast runs and wide bends, catering to Paisley’s fleet-fingered playing style. Finished with a relic oil treatment, the neck has a broken-in feel, ensuring it’s ready for long hours of play without discomfort. This thoughtful design enhances precision and comfort for players at any skill level.
