From Fender:
Playing music is rebellious and mischievous by nature – it takes moxy to stride out on stage and convince a roomful of strangers to enjoy something they’ve never heard before. To turn heads, you need the proper tool for the job, something like The Troublemaker Tele. A bound mahogany body with maple top, custom Cabronita pickguard,
and lacquer finish? Fender’s definitely stirring up some trouble with this limited-edition release. Don’t be afraid to kick up your heels a bit when you play The Troublemaker Tele – after all, the well-behaved rarely make history. This guitar was designed to do one thing – raise a little hell.
