A review & demo of my 2017 Exotic Series Fender Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster. A departure from Fender’s traditional tone wood choices, the 2017 Limited Edition Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster enhances the traditional Tele style with the elegant look of a Malaysian Blackwood top. Strong and dense, Malaysian Bblackwood has plenty of sustain, perfect for soaring lead lines and raucous rhythm work.
​
For authentic, vintage-inspired tone, the 2017 Limited Edition Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster is loaded with two JP-90 single-coil pickups. Topped by 22 narrow-tall frets for easy bending, the 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard is ideal for most playing styles, offering enough arc for comfortable chording while remaining flat enough for wide bends.

The custom string-through-body short-plate Tele bridge features compensated brass saddles for accurate intonation along the entire length of the neck. With its authentic, original-era sound and style, the 2017 Limited Edition Malaysian Blackwood Telecaster is a rare, inspiring example of Fender’s world-class craftsmanship. ​The Malaysian Blackwood 90 Telecaster is part of Fenders 2017 Exotic Wood Collection of guitars.

The Night Tube service commenced on the Piccadilly Line on December 16th 2016.

The Night Tube guitar started life as American Standard Stratocaster finished in February 2015. Originally Olympic White in colour they were refinished by Sims Custom Shop run by Martin Sims in Ashford Kent.

In 2015 Fender teamed up with Transport for London to produce a run of Stratocasters featuring the London Underground Tube Map. The collaboration was part of TfL's Transport by Design campaign. Initially a run of 50 guitars were produced.

The Mexican made Standard Stratocaster featured a maple neck on an alder bofy that was finished in Olympic White on the reverse side and the London Tube Map on the front. The pickguard matched the guitar's body to complete the Tube Map design. The reverse of the  headstock featured a London Underground medallion and the guitar's four bolt neck plate was also engraved with the Underground Logo. 

After the initial run of 50 guitars, a further run of 100 was produced in mid to late 2016. 

This was the second time that Fender had teamed up with Transport for London, in 2014 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Stratocaster and the iconic Routemaster double decker bus a run of 50 Routemaster Stratocasters was produced.
