USED FENDER CUSTOM SHOP / MBA Custom 60s Thinline Telecaster CC Bamboo Yellow/Copper Mist Vincent Van Trigt [03]

A used 2017 Master Builder Apprentice Custom 60s Thinline Telecaster Closet Classic Bamboo Yellow/Copper Mist Vincent Van Trigt has arrived!

The "Master Builder Apprentice" is a limited edition guitar crafted by builders who are candidates to become the next generation of Fender Custom Shop Master Builders.
This particular guitar was crafted in 2017 by Vincent Van Trigt, who apprenticed under the popular builder John Cruz and was promoted to Master Builder in 2019. It's a Custom 60s Thinline Telecaster Closet Classic in Bamboo Yellow/Copper Mist!

A captivating piece featuring a Thinline Telecaster and eye-catching Bamboo Yellow finish!

It features a Select Lightweight 2-piece alder body, a quarter-sawn maple neck, and a slab-on-slab rosewood fingerboard.
The fingerboard radius is 10R, and it uses 6105 frets.
The neck shape is a "60s C-Shape," providing a comfortable grip that feels great in your hands.

The top color is "Bamboo Yellow," while the back color is "Copper Mist."
The combination of an elegant yellow that isn't too bright and the beautiful shimmer of the Copper Mist color creates a distinctive look.
While it's a "Closet Classic" specification, this particular guitar does not feature weather checking and has a stripped finish on the back of the neck.

The pickups are original: a "SEYMOUR DUNCAN/SH-1" in the front and a "Hand Wound 63 Tele" crafted by Josefin Campos in the rear.
The SH-1, which reproduces the Gibson PAF and offers a clear vintage tone, is paired with the "63 Tele" hand-wound by pickup artisan Josefin Campos, delivering the powerful sound of a Telecaster.
It also delivers the airy feel characteristic of a Thinline Telecaster, making this a highly versatile instrument for sound shaping.

Regarding condition, there are screw holes remaining on the body top where a Bigsby was previously mounted. The saddles and switch were replaced at one point but have been returned to their original parts.
The body shows some scratches and dents, but these do not affect playability.

This is a truly unique Vincent Van Trigt piece!
This is a truly valuable piece, so please consider it while you have the chance!
