Fender Birdflower Telecaster!

Take a look at this wonderful one of a kind Fender Birdflower Telecaster from the Fender Custom Shop, and read more! It might well be your last and only chance.....
Here in big pictures!




When going through the 2012 catalog of the German Musicstore my eye fell on the Fender Custom Shop Birdflower Telecaster, advertised with: "single piece" and a pricing of 45.000 Euro! It's the most expensive Fender Custom Shop ever build.
The guitar is built by master builder Yuriy Shishkov who was looking for a way to put some Claro Walnut to a good use. He presented the Telecaster on the Namm show in Los Angeles in 2011, and put hundreds of hours of craftsmanship in building this Telecaster masterpiece. No CNC machine or laser used! The fingerboard, headstock and the top are handcrafted, decorated with mother-of-pearl, different colors of abalone, silver wire and copper wire. What a piece of work!

I took the freedom of using the information and the pictures from www.musicstore.de where this diamond is for sale. I hope they don't mind. Only a little piece of information can be found about the Birdflower Telecaster, and when it is sold, we probably never see it again....
