However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. It’s a guitar that brings the iconic look and feel of a 1960s Telecaster to life, meticulously crafted in the Fender Custom Shop. Finished in a stunning Sonic Blue nitro lacquer, this Telecaster exudes vintage charm with its double-bound alder body, a feature that not only enhances its visual appeal but also pays homage to the classic era of Fender guitars. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is not just for show – it allows the body to resonate more freely, delivering enhanced tonal richness as the guitar ages, a hallmark of vintage-style instruments.
At the heart of the Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS lies a pair of Josefina hand-wound pickups, earning their name because they're crafted by Josefina Campos, a legendary pickup artist in Fender’s Custom Shop. The bridge position is loaded with a Red Hot Tele pickup, delivering a powerful, dynamic sound with plenty of bite, perfect for rock, blues, and country. The neck position features a Twisted Tele pickup, which offers a clear, warm tone with a touch of sparkle. Together, these pickups offer a versatile tonal range, from bright, twangy leads to warm, mellow rhythms, making this Telecaster a tone machine.
Comfort and playability are at the core of this Custom Shop creation. The neck is crafted from AA flame maple, quarter-sawn for superior stability and a stunning visual appeal. The 60s-style Oval "C" profile offers a comfortable grip, perfect for both chord work and leads. Its AAA dark rosewood fingerboard provides a silky smooth surface, while the 9.5-inch radius and 21 narrow tall frets ensure easy bending and precise intonation. No matter your style, this neck is designed to ensure a seamless playing experience.
The Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS doesn’t just look the part – it performs with vintage authenticity thanks to its meticulously chosen hardware. The vintage-style 58-63 Tele bridge ensures classic Tele twang with solid tuning stability. Knurled chrome control knobs, a top-hat selector switch, and vintage-style tuners with the Fender logo further enhance the retro aesthetic. Yet, beneath this classic appearance is a modern attention to detail, with a precisely machined four-bolt neck plate and high-quality materials that guarantee long-lasting performance and reliability.
Owning the Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster Custom NOS represents a piece of guitar history. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the hand-wound pickups by Josefina Campos to the choice of AAA rosewood, sorted for a dark, elegant appearance. The nitro lacquer finish will age gracefully, developing a unique patina that tells the story of your musical journey. Built by master luthiers in the Fender Custom Shop, this Telecaster is a perfect blend of vintage heritage and modern craftsmanship, ensuring that you experience the rich legacy of Fender instruments.
