When it comes to custom guitars, there's few places you could go to find something like this Fender Custom Shop '50s Telecaster Masterbuilt by David Brown in a rich Copper finish. This '50s-style Tele, personally built by Fender Master Builder David Brown, comes together with unique aesthetics, high-quality electronics, and a masterful assembly from an artist's hands.

This Fender Custom Shop '50s Telecaster sets off in its musical journey with a two-piece ash body. A more pronounced lower-end response makes this ash body uniquely resonant while it serves as an exceptional canvas to wrap a Copper-colored lacquer finish around. This Masterbuilt Custom Shop features a thin lacquer finish with a Fender Custom Shop Deluxe Closet Classic finish treatment. Deluxe Closet Classic appears as a finish treatment with a level of finish wear designed to capture the essence of a guitar well-kept in good condition for decades, ultimately only touched by the hands of time.

From here, a 5/4 quartersawn maple neck reaches out in a 52 Style "U" profile. Retaining more of your proverbial "baseball bat" feel in hand, this neck feels particularly vintage and is decked in a thin satin lacquer finish. Smooth and silky, this quartersawn pick couples a comfortable feel in the palm and a full, retro-minded shape. Its fingerboard lines up twenty-one frets utilizing Vintage Upgrade (45085) fret wire. Meant to capture the essence of '50s and '60s Fenders with fret sizes only slightly larger than original Fender models, this Vintage Upgrade fret wire makes for a comfortable and articulate experience. This fingerboard measures with a compound radius of 7.25" to 9.50". Where this lands this Tele's playability is with a board that starts rounder near the nut for easier chords and flattens out toward the body for smoother soloing.

For its voice, this Masterbuilt '50s Telecaster employs a robust set of electronics. Onboard, two 50-51 Blackguard Tele single-coil pickups summon enormously expressive single-coil Tele twang. These two pickups are hand-wound by none other than the illustrious Josefina Campos and play with exceptional response and their own one-of-a-kind tonal profile. A Modern Tele wiring setup shapes these hand-wounds in an incredibly intuitive, no-frills fashion.

This bold sonic palette is backed up by a sturdy hardware setup. A Nocaster bridge lands at the base of the scale and is matched with a bone nut and Vintage-Style tuning machines at the opposite end. Fender Custom Shop Closet Classic hardware finish treatments appear across the entire guitar to push the presentation solidly into a vintage aesthetic. This Masterbuilt model travels with an included Fender Custom Shop Strat/Tele Blonde hardshell case.

From a master's hands to ours, we're delighted to share this Masterbuilt model and all the timeless style it exudes.

I love it!!!
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Easy to assemble, all the pieces were in the box. I set everything out to be sure. Instructions were easy and clear, took about 10 min to put together. Seems to be quality pipe, strong stable build even at just hand tight. When I put the desk top on it was already level so bonus there. This kit is a great value, before I found the M desk I was looking on Pinterest for pipe leg designs thinking a trip to the hardware store and I could make it for cheaper, which was not the case. I 100% will recommend, and will purchase again.

Real steel pipe
Size: O Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
This pipe table leg set was great. It's real steel pipe like from the hardware store. It does have a layer of oil on it so that must be stripped using dawn or some other degreaser before handleing and painting. It is also offset in the middle bar so if you use it as a desk you get more leg clearance. I used it as a table base so I bought matching middle braces to set the middle support in the center of the table. Once together it looks great. I highly recommend getting this if you want a good quality pipe base.

Price / Quality - Office Desk - Perfect
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Purchased two sets to create a custom L shaped desk for the office. Placed a pine stained top. Perfect to handle a monitor, multiple laptops, normal office equipment. Extra benefit is the cross piece at the bottom as a foot rest. Very sturdy while sitting on carpet. Compared to normal pipe material purchased in large box store -- could not have asked for a better product for the price. Looking at other products for additional projects for around the house for the product and vendor. - Highly Recommend.

Fantastic style, good stability, customizable finish, and great customer service
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Put this together in about April 2020 right about the crazy lockdown/quarantine/work-from-home timeframe. I knew that I wanted a simple hardwood desk with no drawers or stuff below the top. I have an ergonomic keyboard tray that I have attached to all my work desks for many years now, and it was too long for my old home desk, which was also made of MDF and was falling apart. Boo. Enter this kit plus a butcher block top from the big box store. This kit went together easily. I had lost the instructions but a quick email to the JS Supplies company, and they hooked me up. By the time they sent it, I had actually figured out the part that was puzzling, which was what the all-thread pieces were for (the couplers between the elbows and the flanges on the top side). I degreased all the parts with a simple Simple Green-type solution diluted in a 5 gallon bucket. I then sprayed the pieces with a satin nitrocellulose laqcuer (Minwax brand that I got from the home improvement big box). Worked great. I thought about doing a sealed rust finish using a science project volcano--vinegar and baking soda for a quick layer of rust on the outside--but I decided against it, as I wasn't sure of how stable the final product would be, even after a clear spray finish. The satin nitro finish looks great without even looking like a finish. I also coated the pieces with paste wax after the finish dried, just for good measure. The one thing that is a bit disappointing is the stability... WITH MY TOP, mind you.I should be clear that the top that I'm using is a 1-3/4" thick monster piece of birch butcher block that is 60" x 30". I'm guessing that it's 40-50 pounds? Maybe more. This is probably WAY more weight than this leg set is made for. I also have the aforementioned keyboard tray that sticks out (torque equals force times lever arm) and causes even more torque. I get some shaking with the top with this setup. I have the desk on carpet; I was concerned that maybe the carpet and pad were not giving enough stability with the feet, so I made some plywood platforms for the feet. I also carefully leveled the feet to make sure it wasn't just uneven legs that was causing the instability. Still shakes no matter what I tried. I think it's just that I have such a heavy top--more than this thing is spec'd for. That's totally fine, and I don't want to knock off a bunch of stars for that. I leave these comments more as a "don't do what I did" thing. Just be advised that you need to limit the weight of the top to something reasonable. The design of one upright on each side of the desk with a pipe coupler in between is probably the weak spot with my heavy desktop; I'm thinking of either adding tension on either side (with some threaded rod and turnbuckles) or some extra supports with something like the Steel-Tek pieces from Lowe's. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and the company!
