FENDER Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray
Signature electric guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups and Glaser Bender System, including case
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.
The Fender Stories Collection Brent Mason Telecaster MN Primer Gray delivers multifaceted country sounds with a Glaser Bender system and Seymour Duncan pickups.
Traditional construction and excellent playability
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.
Three very different pickups for versatile country sounds
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.
Glaser Bender System and locking tuners
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.
