More about Limited Edition Brent Mason Telecaster®
The Limited Edition Brent Mason Telecaster, masterbuilt by Kyle McMillin, is inspired by the distinctive Tele Mason has used for countless recordings and performances with a one-of-a-kind-tone that has made him one of Nashville's most sought-after session aces. For this detailed recreation, we had an amazing time in Nashville working closely with Mason - painstakingly disassembling the guitar, measuring every detail precisely and examining every last part.
Truly, it's hard to tell this guitar from the custom-powerhouse original guitar Mason has put through its paces for so many years. From the black grease and oil marks on the primer-gray custom Heavy Relic® finish to the heavily worn quartersawn Relic maple neck, it effortlessly harkens back to Mason's hard-played and long-serving original. A trio of Seymour Duncan® pickups includes a mini humbucking neck pickup, '80s-style hot-stack middle pickup and vintage-stack Telecaster bridge pickup, all wired to a custom control assembly with individual volume for the middle pickup, a push/pull tone knob that deactivates the middle pickup when pulled, and three-way blade switching.
Other custom appointments include an off-center-seam ash body, 1967 "C" neck profile, 7.25"-radius round-laminated quartersawn maple fingerboard with 21 vintage frets and black pearloid face dots, and a Joe Glaser B-Bender system for extra Nashville twang. Deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity included.
