The Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray is an authentic replica of the Late '60s Tele that the legendary country and session guitarist acquired in Nashville in the late 80s and modified over time to create the ultimate electric guitar for recording. Following the specifications of the vintage original, this special tele features an ash body and bolt-on maple neck in the comfortable "Late '60s C" neck profile. Brent Mason's custom pickup setup, a Seymour Duncan mini humbucker at the neck, a Seymour Duncan hot stack strat pickup in the middle and a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele pickup at the bridge, promises to deliver a variety of tones for virtuoso country playing. In addition to the popular Sperzel locking tuners, which guarantee exact tuning with high stability, the Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray is equipped with a Glaser Bender System that allows the typical country bendings on the B-string to be done with just one pull on the guitar strap.
Fender naturally uses the traditional construction method of the original for the Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray. This Tele features a
light ash body
, which in combination with the
bolt-on one-piece maple neck
promises a crisp sound. The slim
"Late '60s C" neck profile
and the vintage
fretboard radius of 7.25" (184 mm)
guarantee a comfortable and authentic playing feel. The
satin-matt grey finish
also matches Brent Mason's legendary Telecaster, which was sanded down by one of its previous owners and repainted with auto primer.
Furthermore the pickup setup of the Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray is perfectly tuned to the sound ideas of the legendary session guitarist and delivers multifaceted sounds thanks to the versatile circuitry. Accordingly, the
3-way blade switch
selects the
neck and bridge pickups
in the usual manner, while the
Seymour Duncan mini humbucker
at the neck promises a full sound with a broad midrange spectrum. The
Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack Tele pickup at the bridge
evokes the classic tele-twang without ambient noise clouding the sound experience. The
Seymour Duncan Hot Stack Strat pickup in the middle position
can be mixed in smoothly via its own
volume control
, enriching the sound of the Brent Mason Tele with bell-like Strat sounds.
The classic
string-thru bridge
of the Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray features the practical
Glaser Bender System
, which is activated by a pull on the guitar strap and enables the typical country bendings on the B-string. By turning the corresponding string saddle, the system can also be used as a
G-Bender
. Furthermore the proven
Sperzel Trim-Lok locking tuners
behind the
bone nut
guarantee precise and stable tuning of the electric guitar.
