Fender Limited Edition Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe (Dakota Red)

Night after night, Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett dominates some of the biggest stages in the world with his relentless guitar tones. Enter the Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe—a stripped-down rock machine designed for high-octane live performance. Previously exclusive to the Fender Custom Shop, this signature model is now ready for players demanding the same road-tested, stage-ready design as Shiflett himself.

Built for speed and power, the alder body features a comfortable "belly cut" and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish for vintage aesthetics and superior resonance. The 25.5” scale maple neck, with its Custom Oval "C" profile and a 12” radius slab rosewood fingerboard, ensures effortless playability across 21 medium jumbo frets. Highlighted by white pearloid block inlays, this Tele® combines style with substance. At the heart of the Cleaver is a set of Chris Shiflett "Cleaver" Noiseless™ CS-90 pickups, delivering high output, throaty midrange punch, and singing highs—minus the hum. Tuning stability is ensured with Pure Vintage “F”-stamped tuning machines, a bone nut, and a string-through body hardtail bridge.

Complete with a signature vintage-style brown case, the Chris Shiflett Cleaver Telecaster® Deluxe is the ultimate tool for guitarists seeking dynamic tones and unparalleled performance.
