The Fender Limited Edition Brent Mason Telecaster brings the distinctive features of Brent Mason's longtime Nashville session guitar into a carefully appointed signature instrument. Based on a modified 1967 Telecaster Brent discovered in a Nashville guitar shop in the early 1980s, this model combines a Glaser Bender system, three Seymour Duncan pickups, and a versatile control layout in a gloss black finish.
Brent Mason's playing has appeared on well over 1,000 albums across five decades. His work with artists including Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, and Shania Twain helped make him one of Nashville's most recognized session guitarists. This Telecaster reflects the practical versatility that made his original instrument such a valuable studio tool.
The Glaser Bender system is a major part of this guitar's personality. It adds expressive pitch-bending capability to the familiar Telecaster platform, giving players another way to shape chords, lead lines, and country-style phrasing. The three-pickup Seymour Duncan configuration adds further flexibility, with a Vintage Stack Tele pickup at the bridge, a Hot Stack Strat pickup in the middle, and a Vintage Mini Humbucker in the neck.
The control layout is designed to make those options useful in real playing situations. Along with master volume and master tone, the guitar has a separate middle-pickup volume control and a push/pull middle-pickup on/off function.
For country guitarists, session players, and anyone who enjoys exploring different sounds from one instrument, the Brent Mason Telecaster offers a distinctive combination of traditional Telecaster character and specialized features. The bender system opens up expressive playing possibilities, while the three-pickup setup and additional controls give you more ways to shape your sound for recording, rehearsals, and live performance.
The neck has a Late '60s C profile, a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius, and vintage tall frets. The supplied measurements list neck thickness at .87 inch at the first fret and .94 inch at the twelfth fret. At 8.8 pounds, this particular guitar's weight is also worth considering when choosing an instrument for long rehearsals or extended sets.
