Oops. I was tired... :-[ It was hard work resizing and captioning all those photos.

It is indeed Mr Robin Gallagher from Fender SA. Edited the original post. ?

Hey, . . . . thanks for the pics Mr T ?

Interesting stuff !

Ooh! Some niceness of note there!

Those Mexi Charvels should be popular. As should the Mexi Cabronitas.

A paisley Twin! Hmmm... ?

Big-G

The 'Gibsonesque' CS Tele will do me! What a beaut!!

I don't see no Pink Paisley Tele's in the Fender 2013 Custom Shop collection, and I can't find any Google links to a current made in the USA Paisley Tele.
Maybe they're still made by Fender Japan...although, considering this is Musikmesse 2013, perhaps the news of USA made Pink Paisleys hasn't hit the internet yet.

Looking at that pic of the girl playing the Tele Resonator, in the background on the left hand side, that looks to me like some Tacoma guitars?? Have Fender finally re-released Tacoma? If so, this is very good news (assuming they haven't changed them beyond all recognition in build technique etc)!

yes thats what i thought too .... But mr T labeled the photo of the pink / blue / green paisley teles with bigsby's and a neck humbucker as a custom shop ..... Or did i read the label wrong

and far as i know all custom shop fender is usa made ......

But yeah nice teles .... And a neck humbucker is yummy .... Always had a soft spot for a paisley tele but always wanted a usa fender so held off ..... But now they need a paisly usa standard .... As unless i'm surprised by the price a CS FENDER tele will be priced pretty high .... Last custom shop i fell in love with was the jim campilongo signature tele also custom shop and that retailed in states for $4500 thats us dollars ... Bit rich for a local gigging muso ? but we can admire them from afar till i can afford one .,

any other pics of the gibsonesque tele?

Mr-M

Thanks for the positive comments on the photos guys. I'm glad my labour was not in vain. ?

Nope, not a Tacoma. Those are Fender branded acoustics.

Those are USA custom shop Teles. Anything on the red velvet backed wall which you can see behind the guitars is by the USA custom shop. As for what's in the catalog (as TokaiSA speculated)...well, I don't sell Fenders so I really don't know...you'd have to ask the guys from Fender. ?

Go over to the Premier Guitar website. They have a photo of it in their Musikmesse roundup.

Neither can I... ☹

I thought I saw it in PG's coverage, but can't find it now. Sorry man. It seems that my photo is only one I can find of this guitar.
